This week, the UN is to consider a draft resolution proposed by the U.S. to issue a 15-day ultimatum to the Haitian military junta and reinforce the trade embargo. At the same time, President Clinton took a tougher stand by clearly evoking the possibility of armed intervention to depose the military rulers he rightly accuses of killing innocent civilians.</p>\n<p>My question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs, who has just arrived. Can the minister give an update on the negotiations at the UN concerning the ultimatum proposed by the American president and can he indicate whether Canada supports this proposal?</p>",
