Déclaration faite le 11 mai 2010 par Senator Roméo Dallaire
Hon. Roméo Antonius Dallaire:
Honourable senators, two weeks ago, Mr. Paul Dewar and I, both members of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for the Prevention of Genocide and other Crimes Against Humanity, wrote an article that was published in the papers. I know that Madam Leader does not give credence to newspapers. In this article, we stated that it is vital that Canada revisit its policy on the United Nations mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo, known as MONUC, and that it consider the United Nations' request to strengthen the mission and allow it to carry out its mandate.
The next morning, there was an article in the papers about the Conservative government's decision not to provide additional reinforcements to MONUC. Since I believe the newspapers, can the minister confirm that the Conservative government has decided not to provide additional resources to MONUC?
