As I said in my statement, I was pleased to learn that Canadian aid has been increased to $22 million, but I still think that this could have been done a few months ago.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3151466\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> I was talking about winter, a very real situation that means that our foreign aid must be on the ground at the most crucial time. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3151467\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> It is also my opinion that we have to work with our partners to encourage the entire international community to contribute more. I also believe that we can do more in terms of family reunification.</p>",

Nous voulons tous aider le peuple syrien; l\u00e0-dessus, on s'entend tous. Comme je l'ai dit dans mon discours, j'ai \u00e9t\u00e9 heureuse d'apprendre que l'aide canadienne \u00e9tait port\u00e9e \u00e0 22 millions de dollars, mais je conserve l'opinion personnelle que l'aide canadienne aurait pu \u00eatre port\u00e9e \u00e0 22 millions de dollars il y a plusieurs mois.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3151466\" data-originallang=\"fr\"> Je parlais de l'hiver, une situation tr\u00e8s r\u00e9elle qui fait que cette aide doit \u00eatre sur le terrain au moment le plus crucial. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3151467\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Je conserve aussi l'opinion qu'on devrait travailler avec nos partenaires pour encourager toute la communaut\u00e9 internationale \u00e0 donner plus, et je conserve \u00e9galement l'opinion qu'on pourrait en faire plus du c\u00f4t\u00e9 de la r\u00e9unification des familles.</p>"
