Trudeau says Canadians ‘have to intervene’ somehow in Haiti, convenes incident groupOTTAWA — Haiti's ambassador to Canada faced stiff questioning Wednesday over his country's controversial request for a foreign military intervention, as the Liberals argue Ottawa must respond to a cascade of humanitarian crises. Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has called for a foreign military intervention to restore order. Liberal MP Emmanuel Dubourg challenged Arthus on rampant government corruption in Haiti, and asked whether the request for foreign intervention amounts to an admission of failure. Earlier Wednesday, Trudeau told reporters he's aware that many Haitians are uncomfortable with a foreign military intervention. Trudeau also convened a meeting Wednesday of cabinet ministers known as the Incident Response Group, which meets only when something has "major implications for Canada," to discuss Haiti.
