Mr. Speaker, we obviously extend our sympathies to all those affected by the terrible torrential rains, flooding, and landslides in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia and Croatia.
On May 19, the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies launched an emergency disaster assistance fund to respond to the massive flooding and mudslides.
Through an ongoing DFATD-funded project with the Canadian Red Cross, which allows Canada to immediately respond to disasters around the world, the Canadian Red Cross automatically allocated a maximum contribution to these relief operations on behalf of the Government of Canada.
We will continue to monitor the situation very closely.
