Mr. Speaker, over the past days, I have spoken with Lebanese Canadians who are deeply worried for their families, and our hearts go out to the loved ones of the two Canadians killed.
We need to see de-escalation right now from both Israel and Hezbollah. I spoke with leaders this week, including the King of Jordan and the UN Secretary-General, along with G7 allies, on the need for urgent de-escalation. Civilians need to be protected. This violence needs to stop. We need to move on a path toward regional stability and peace.
