Hon. Rose-Marie Losier-Cool:

Honourable senators, my question is for the Leader of the Government in the Senate. We learned a week ago from a U.S. Senate report that the reconstruction in Haiti following the earthquakes in January is not progressing as anticipated, supposedly because of a lack of leadership, disagreements between donors and general disorganization.

The rain and hurricane season has begun. We all know the humanitarian and logistical problems that flooding will bring. Does the Government of Canada have the necessary flexibility to take direct action in Haiti, or is it required to coordinate its efforts through a group of donor countries?
