Mr. Speaker, the world was shocked by the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti this past January.
In one of the most tragic events, we witnessed one nation move with lightening speed to answer the call, and that was Canada. The Canadian government was one of the first countries to respond with an immediate influx of $5 million. We quickly followed that up with an additional $80 million to the UN and Red Cross.
Could the Minister of State of Foreign Affairs comment on Canada's latest contribution to the effort in Haiti?
