Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague from the Liberal Party for his speech. I have come to know his passion for Africa and for the parliamentary association in which actively participates.
The hon. member did a good job of explaining what steps need to be taken to deal with this terrible disease and the different ways Canada can help.
I heard a report on Radio-Canada about the many children being orphaned by this epidemic. The report talked about what needs to be done not only immediately, but also on the heels of the devastation the Ebola virus has caused in the affected countries.
Can my colleague explain in detail what he thinks about this?
