Prime Minister Justin Trudeau convenes the Incident Response Group to discuss the situation in Haiti

October 18, 2022
Ottawa, Ontario

Yesterday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau convened the Incident Response Group with ministers and senior officials to discuss the latest developments on the evolving situation in Haiti.

The group was briefed on the latest developments on the ground in Haiti, including Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry’s request for assistance. The Prime Minister and ministers expressed their grave concern over the deteriorating security and the humanitarian crisis in Haiti as armed gangs hinder access to the country’s primary fuel terminal, water, medicine, and other essential goods, amidst an emerging cholera outbreak that has a potential to get worse.

The group was updated on Canada and U.S. contributions to help the Haitian National Police (HNP) protect and serve the Haitian people. A Canadian and U.S. military airlift operation of security equipment, including tactical and armoured vehicles, as well as supplies purchased by the Haitian Government for the HNP in Port-au-Prince, will help to restore security in the country.

The group also discussed additional diplomatic, humanitarian, and stabilization options to support the Haitian people during this crisis, as well as measures to bring accountability to those responsible for it. Departments and agencies represented at the meeting were tasked with assessing further options for Canadian assistance, in cooperation with allies and partners and based on local needs and facts on the ground.

The Prime Minister and ministers conveyed Canada’s ongoing commitment to work closely and collaborate with regional and international partners to support Haiti’s stability and sustainable development, as well as help advance a Haitian-led solution and encourage inclusive political dialogue among Haitian stakeholders.

Statement by the Prime Minister congratulating Ulf Kristersson on his election as Prime Minister of Sweden

October 18, 2022
Ottawa, Ontario

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement to congratulate Ulf Kristersson on his election as Prime Minister of Sweden:

“On behalf of the Government of Canada, I congratulate Ulf Kristersson on becoming the new Prime Minister of Sweden. I look forward to working with Prime Minister Kristersson to continue building the relationship between our two countries based on a long history of cooperation, strong people-to-people ties, and common priorities such as safeguarding democracy and the rules-based international order, and promoting human rights. As Arctic countries, we have shared interests and work closely together to promote circumpolar cooperation. We also enjoy commercial ties through the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA), which is creating new opportunities and good middle-class jobs on both sides of the Atlantic.

“We will continue to work closely with like-minded countries such as Sweden to combat authoritarianism and promote peace and security in Europe, particularly in the face of Russian aggression in Ukraine. As a close partner and important ally, Canada strongly supports Sweden’s decision to pursue membership with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and we will remain steadfast in our support through the accession process, including against threats to Sweden’s security.

“I thank former Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson for her partnership and wish her all the best in her future endeavours.”
