OTTAWA — The House of Commons foreign-affairs committee is urging Ottawa not to send troops to clear out Haiti's violent gangs, but instead to beef up sanctions targeting that country's political and economic elite.
MPs say in a newly published report that Ottawa should respond by focusing on humanitarian, economic and political efforts, as well as justice and security support in the Caribbean country. They say those outcomes should include the availability of recreational activities for children to learn and play, since gangs are causing schools to clause and are recruiting kids into what some MPs characterized as child soldiers.
The Biden administration has in recent months lessened its pressure on Ottawa to take part in such an intervention, which it nonetheless says could help stem a regional crisis of refugees, guns and gangs.
