Mr. Speaker, my NDP colleague talked about the issue of inequity in his presentation.
I am very troubled by the thought of abandoning six million direct victims in Congo, where rape has been a weapon of war for 10 years. My colleague, who is in international relations, told me that Congo asked Canada for aid and military support three times.
How can we refuse the request for assistance three times, then charge right into another conflict and drop bombs from 10,000 feet?
