Mr. Chair, there were times when I found it a little difficult to listen to such debate.
While our colleague talked to us about dollar amounts and Canada's great humanitarian success in the CAR, people took refuge at the airport. They huddled up against the fences and were attacked with machetes by killers. They would like to leave, but the airport has not been secured.
Have we not reached the point where we should send military assistance or logistical support to secure the airport and help these people leave and save their lives?
