Madam Speaker, the armed conflict in Sudan has cost over 12,000 lives as of today. Over three million Sudanese people are currently internally displaced persons. About one million have fled as refugees to neighbouring countries. Over 40% to 45% of the Sudanese population is on the verge of catastrophic famine, and 80% of the hospitals have been destroyed. Canadians, including the citizens of the Nepean riding, request that the Government of Canada take a more active role and engage with United Nations agencies and other friends and allies to impose sanctions and to bring this conflict to a halt through any means possible. They also request that the Government of Canada provide more humanitarian assistance through UN agencies and other NGOs.
