Mr. Chair, I thank my colleague for her very emotional speech.
She mentioned the youth of the South Sudanese people and Canada's ability to exert diplomatic pressure.
With regard to the youth, especially children, according to UNICEF, 50,000 children under the age of five could die this year as a result of illness, malnutrition and unsafe conditions. UNICEF received only 50% of the funding requested, which it needs to save lives in South Sudan.
Canada has given money, but this situation is dragging on. We will have to continue assessing it.
Does my colleague believe that Canada should also show leadership by pushing other countries to help resolve this situation?
