Foreign Affairs committee  The amendment is this: That all the words be deleted after and including the word “Given” and be replaced with the following: That the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs calls on the Canadian government to urge an immediate ceasefire by all parties across the Lebanese-Israeli border.

Foreign Affairs committee  The amendment is that the motion be amended by deleting all the words after “Given” and replacing them with: That the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs calls on the Canadian government to urge an immediate ceasefire by all parties across the Lebanese-Israeli border.

Foreign Affairs committee  It reads as follows: Move that the motion be amended by removing all the words after “given”, in line one, and substituting the following: Given the strong bonds of friendship that unite Canada with Lebanon and given that it is committed to its security; Given that of all Western countries Canada had the largest number of nationals in Lebanon at the outbreak of hostilities; Given that Canada is a long-standing friend of Israel, that it actively supported its creation, and that it is also committed to its security; The Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs: Congratulates the Government of Canada for the successful evacuation of over 13,000 Canadians from Lebanon; Calls on the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade to conduct a review of the procedures utilized to carry out the evacuation so that the successful principles can be applied to planning for future similar emergency contingencies that may arise; Offers its sincere condolences to the families of Canadians and all others who have died during the recent crisis in the Middle East; Recognizes that Israel was attacked on its territory by Hezbollah unprovoked, and that Israel, as a sovereign democracy, has a right to defend itself; Strongly condemns the launching of Hezbollah rockets into Israel; Calls upon Israel to exercise the utmost restraint in its military actions and take all possible measures to protect civilian lives and infrastructure; Calls on the Government of Canada to continue to support the Government of Lebanon and to support its efforts to peacefully disarm the militia; Supports the G8 summit declaration, which emphasizes the importance of a ceasefire that is sustainable and emphasizes the importance of working towards a permanent solution.

Foreign Affairs committee  It's possible that my office did. I wasn't here on the 28th.

Foreign Affairs committee  Calling for the question is not acceptable in committee.

Foreign Affairs committee  It reads as follows: That the Committee recommends that the government work with the victims in Canada to ascertain the feasibility of using existing domestic crimes against humanity legislation to indict Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe for crimes against humanity as well as press for a resolution at the Security Council to invoke a Chapter 7 article 41 resolution against President Mugabe and that the Minister of Justice report back to the committee by November 15 on his efforts.

Foreign Affairs committee  That the committee recommends that the government work with victims in Canada to ascertain the feasibility of using existing domestic crimes against humanity legislation to indict Zimbabwe's President Robert

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes.

Foreign Affairs committee  Okay, but I'm afraid I still don't have Mr. Wilfert's amendment.

Foreign Affairs committee  It reads: That the Committee, noting that the government recognizes the severity of the humanitarian crisis in the Congo, recommends that the government ask its representatives at the United Nations to press for a significant increase in the number of peacekeepers for the United Nations Organization Mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (MONUC) and to double the amount of Canadian funding for aid operations in Eastern Congo as soon as possible.

Foreign Affairs committee  I think we took it out of the original because when you have a motion it's usually evident that it's the Canadian government that will do it. We can't recommend to any other government or any other country; it's not within the committee's power to do that.

Foreign Affairs committee  I contacted his office, but I haven't yet received an answer. I can change dates.

Foreign Affairs committee  When I contacted them, they told me they had a meeting with the minister.

Foreign Affairs committee  It will be held from 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. They can't change the time.
