Mr. Speaker, when Canadians in the Tamil community are worried sick about their relatives in Sri Lanka, the Conservative government continues to look for reasons not to act. The humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka's northern Vanni region is rapidly becoming a catastrophe. International crisis groups are telling us that the situation is deteriorating by the day. Yet the Conservative government is not listening.
Will the Prime Minister now commit to supporting the call to appoint a UN envoy for Sri Lanka, one who will address human rights and assist in an ongoing and lasting peace process?
