Kosovo June 2nd, 1999

Mr. Speaker, the Kosovo crisis has moved public opinion in our country. It has triggered many initiatives and gestures of solidarity.

In my riding, children from several schools have drawn pictures and written messages of peace to the children who are among the victims of that crisis. Through their initiative, our children want to reach out in compassion to comfort other children of their own age who have been torn away from their families, homes and dreams.

We are sending these messages today to the Kosovar children in the refugee camps located in Macedonia and Albania, and to those whom we have welcomed here in Canada.

In addition to the collective commitments made by our country to take part in NATO air strikes and to welcome refugees, we must also let our hearts speak through small acts of compassion such as these in the face of such terrible inhumanity.

Congratulations to those in charge of the Paix-Cible organization, particularly Diana Tremblay and Francine Riverin, and their chaplain, Reverend Paul Tremblay.
