Foreign Affairs Minister M茅lanie Joly says Canada is determining how it can best help with an international military intervention in Haiti, leaving it unclear whether this will involve a military role for Canada.

害羞草研究所淐anada has always been involved in issues related to Haiti. We will continue to be,害羞草研究所� Joly told reporters Tuesday morning on Parliament Hill, in French.

害羞草研究所淲e want to do more. So we害羞草研究所檒l thus continue these diplomatic conversations, and I would say that we害羞草研究所檒l also continue to support solutions that are by and for Haitians.害羞草研究所�

The United Nations Security Council approved a multinational force Monday to help combat violent gangs in Haiti, which Kenya has offered to lead.

Joly said she害羞草研究所檚 spoken with her counterpart from Kenya as well as Canada害羞草研究所檚 ambassador to the United Nations, Bob Rae, on how Canada can be of help.

Haiti害羞草研究所檚 unelected prime minister asked for an international intervention last year, and the idea has been divisive among Haitians though it is supported by the UN and Washington.

Joly noted that Ottawa has always been involved in issues pertaining to Haiti, and said she expects Canada will do more.

But she didn害羞草研究所檛 specifying what kind of Canadian help has been offered.

Haiti has faced a profound security crisis exacerbated by brazen criminal gangs since mid-2021, leading to rampant violence, cholera outbreaks and restricted access to water, food and medical care.

Washington had asked Canada to lead a military intervention, but Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it害羞草研究所檚 unclear whether such a move would lead to long-term stability, citing multiple previous interventions that he argued made Haiti even less stable.

Canada害羞草研究所檚 top military general told media in March that there weren害羞草研究所檛 enough armed forces available to lead such a mission.

Joly has instead issued sanctions on multiple political and economic elite in Haiti, arguing this will help lead to a consensus among political actors on how other countries can best support Haitians to find stability and eventually hold an election.
