Mr. Chair, my colleague gave a good overview of what has been happening in the Central African Republic.
Last November, my colleagues and I put out a press release encouraging the government to engage. We wanted Canada to support the actions of the UN, particularly in allowing the European Union to have some security support on the ground.
My colleague enumerated the aid the government committed to in December and yesterday, as well. I want to acknowledge that support.
Back in November we also wanted to support what was happening at the UN. We have now seen that come to fruition.
Could the parliamentary secretary tell us if we are looking at diplomatic support and military support on the ground for the EU mission? Is that conversation happening? If not, why not?
