Tragedy in Haiti

Like everyone, I was deeply shocked by the level of physical destruction and the loss of life following the earthquake that struck Port-au-Prince earlier this week.

I had the opportunity to make an official visit to Haiti two years ago as Canada’s Foreign Affairs minister. I was able to witness in person the harsh conditions in which many Haitians already lived.

I would like to offer my condolences and my moral support to our fellow citizens of Haitian background whose family members there have been directly affected by this disaster. And I invite all those who can to show their solidarity by making a financial contribution to the international aid organisations involved in the relief work.
