The Government of Canada reacts to the situation in South and South-East Asia, and on the east coast of Africa

“The shocking human toll of the terrible disaster in South and South-East Asia has moved Canadians across the country to do what they can to help. Thousands of Canadians have been touched personally by this tragedy. The scope of the devastation will demand that we continue to work together to respond to the immediate and long term rescue, humanitarian and reconstruction needs.” -- Prime Minister Paul Martin
