1. “The exact nature of Canada's involvement in the second phase of this mandate is under discussion with the Secretariat and other potential contributing States. We look forward to the day very soon when UNMIH will deploy and when President Aristide returns to Haiti.”

2. “Canada had very much hoped and expected that the Governors Island Agreement would be implemented in full. Many efforts have been expended by this Council and by the international community towards achieving that goal. Because living conditions in Haiti continue to decline seriously and brutal repression continues, we cannot allow the status quo to persist. It is for this reason that the Government of Canada has co-sponsored the draft resolution before us. Canada's commitment to restoring democracy in Haiti is unwavering. Canada has participated in the United Nations Mission in Haiti (UNMIH) in the past and will do so again when the operation is reconstituted under the terms of the draft resolution before us.”

3. “(spoke in English) From the outset of the Haitian crisis, the United Nations has sought to restore democracy in that country through mediation and other diplomatic means as well as through a gradually more severe set of sanctions. Canada has supported and participated in these efforts at every step, as one of the Secretary-General's "Friends of Haiti". Canada has throughout the crisis stood at the side of the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, whose restoration we see as a key element of the restoration of democracy in that country. We note his appeal to the international community, in his letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations dated July 29, for swift and determined action under the authority of the United Nations in order to permit the implementation of the Governors Island Agreement.”

4. “Mr. Malone (Canada) (interpretation from French): It is with great sadness but also with a sense of urgency that the delegation of Canada is once again addressing the Security Council on the situation in Haiti. The international community has worked hard to convince the illegal authorities to relinquish their stranglehold on Haiti. The Council has adopted several decisions towards that end. The military leadership, however, has shown its determination to cling to power at any cost to the general population. It has further demonstrated its utter disregard for the United Nations and the Organization of American States with its recent expulsion of the staff of the International Civilian Mission, whose valuable work and courage Canada salutes.”
