Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his question.
What is equally important is that when the government across the way makes a commitment, it must keep that commitment. We know that on a number of occasions since the Conservatives have come to power, Canada has made commitments that were not satisfactory internationally.
In this situation, it is not about demanding things or saying that we will send $3 million in aid. We must take a firm stance. In addition to demanding a ceasefire, Canada must also be pro-active, not only in terms of monetary aid, but also in the demands that will be made to come to a real ceasefire or improvement for the Sri Lankan people. This measure will be taken seriously by the entire global community if, as I said earlier, we see that when the Conservative government makes commitments, it respects them and stands firm. And so, Canada will have more international credibility. When a commitment is made, we will know that it will be kept. We do not currently have that guarantee with the Conservative government.
