Mr. Speaker, I did notice that discussion between two of my colleagues here in the House.
To get back to the question, I would say that I do not want to discuss what things were like in Sri Lanka three or four years ago. Today, we are debating the current situation, and we will not help the Sri Lankan people, their families or their friends who are listening tonight if we debate things that happened more than four years ago.
Tonight, we are here to debate what kind of immediate assistance we should provide, and I would like the debate to stay focused on that. The important thing is figuring out what the government can do now to help the people get out of the terrible and dangerous situation they are in.
I agree that what was done four years ago was awful. But for now, the government must not hide or abdicate its responsibilities because of something that happened over three years ago.
