I am sure that you have all been watching the news out of Haiti. There was another aftershock today that was quite strong. The devastation in that country is beyond comprehension. The immediate needs are to provide medical assistance and to feed the population.
The responsiveness of the Canadian public service, including the armed forces, has been nothing but extraordinary. I think all Canadians should be proud of how our country and our government have responded.
There will be many years of rebuilding in Haiti. Not only infrastructure but also all aspects of civil society, public services, education, health care and the economy. As I wrote previously, the relationship between Canada and Haiti is a special one and I know that Canada will be at the forefront of this multiyear rebuilding.
I also think that IPAC and its members can play a crucial role in the rebuilding of the Haitian public service. As we are doing in many other countries around the world we can bring Canadian public sector expertise to bear and assist in building a non-partisan, efficient and effective public service.
