But the Canadian government has so far kept its powder dry, instead searching for a “consensus” on the ground and levying economic sanctions against elites accused of supporting gang activity..On Wednesday morning, Trudeau said he was “glad to be invited” to the summit and looked forward to discussing infrastructure, climate change and a “range” of other issues.
Bahamian Prime Minister Philip Davis told a news conference on Tuesday that discussing Haiti will be a “prominent” priority during the summit, and he urged countries such as Canada and the United States to step up to help..“We do not have the resources to be able to deal with the Haiti problem ourselves and we do need outside help,” he said.
Stephen Baranyi, an international development professor at the University of Ottawa, said that Canada sees a full-fledged military mission as a “last resort.” Emmanuel Dubourg, Canada’s only Haitian-born member of Parliament, said in an interview that the Canadian government is “discussing all options” as it considers how to assist the beleaguered country.“But we also heard that the national police is under-armed, and the situation really difficult there.”
