Trudeau told reporters on Wednesday he's aware that many Haitians are uncomfortable with a foreign military intervention, but said Canada must intervene in humanitarian crises there somehow.
Haiti's ambassador to Canada faced stiff questioning Wednesday over his country's controversial request for a foreign military intervention, as the Liberals argue Ottawa must respond to a cascade of humanitarian crises.
He said his country has barely recovered from the 2010 earthquake, but putting Haitians to work could avoid future instability. "Each person who finances gangs must be sanctioned," Arthus said in French, noting he has lost some of his own relatives to violence. Bloc Quebecois MP Stephane Bergeron said in French that many in the Haitian diaspora have concerns about Canada working with "a government whose legitimacy is highly questioned" and barely controls its own territory.
"At the same time, we look at the crisis, rapes, the violence, the poverty and the cholera and health crisis. And then we say to ourselves, we have to intervene in one way or another," he told reporters in French. On Monday, Canada's ambassador to Haiti said Canada will be expected to take a leading role in assisting the country, as it's among the most respected nations in Port-au-Prince.
