Mr. Speaker, our government has been unequivocal in condemning the terrorist attacks of Hamas against Israeli citizens. We are also adamant that attacks on civilians are wrong. We call on all parties to observe international law. Our hearts go out to the innocent Palestinian victims who have died as a result of this attack. We will continue to work with partners around the world to call for a humanitarian corridor.

Mr. Speaker, in the terrible conflict that is tearing apart the Gaza Strip, civilians are losing their lives or living in unspeakable distress. Humanitarian aid needs to get to the civilians on the Gaza Strip and aid has to get there unconditionally, no matter where it comes from. To do its work under these circumstances, Canada needs a strong voice. It needs a strong voice to convey the desire for peace on behalf of our Israeli friends, Palestinian friends or friends of peace in general. In that spirit, will Canada join the initiative undertaken by the United States with Italy, Germany, France and the United Kingdom?

Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for the question. The Minister of Foreign Affairs was one of the first to go to these regions to show that we are there for our Israeli friends and our Palestinian friends. We were one of the first nations to speak out in a strong voice about the situation between Israel and Hamas. We are continuing to push for a humanitarian corridor. We are here to stand up for the rights of all innocent civilians.

Mr. Speaker, this crisis is truly horrible for everyone involved. There are many innocent victims on both the Israeli and Palestinian sides. Since the beginning of this crisis, the Government of Canada, both the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, have been in contact with our allies and members from the region. We are there to provide leadership and co-operation in resolving this conflict.
