We have discussed the conflict in Syria on numerous occasions in this Chamber and at the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade. We are all aware of the huge destruction and the large number of human casualties this war has caused. There have been terrible injuries, deaths and poverty, and there are approximately 9 million refugees in need of humanitarian assistance. While we know the Geneva talks will not solve the issue overnight, I have asked this question to ascertain what was discussed at the last Foreign Affairs Council and the proposals, if any, arising from that.
