Canadian government pledges to work towards Tamil community's peace and security

Commenting on Sri Lanka's proscription of Tamil diaspora groups, the Canadian Minister of  Foreign Affairs, John Baird, said today his government would remain focused on helping the Tamil community live with peace and security.

Responding to questions on whether the government would stand up for Canadians targeted in the Sri Lankan proscriptions, the minister said,
“We are deeply concerned that Canadians have been identified and singled out for attention as has the government of Canada. We remain focused on doing all we can to help the Tamil minority to live in peace and security with their neighbours.”
