Mr. Speaker, I believe that the medical teams on the ground are being stretched to the limit and need reinforcements from around the world.
Doctors Without Borders is doing an extraordinary job, but this organization needs additional resources. Canada should be sending doctors, specialists, drugs, equipment and money.
In fact, countries are always thankful for the money contributed, no matter the amount, even when it is small compared to what the U.S. donates. The Canadian contribution is important nonetheless, and we must thank the government for at least thinking to send this aid.
However, vehicles, gas, water, tents and medical infrastructure are also needed so that people can operate and work in safety.
