e) policy and funding for displaced persons (refugees, immigrants) from Lebanon and surrounding areas. This is to help alleviate the excessive demand on Lebanon's resources including education, water, energy, food, medicine, medical care, housing, and economic opportunities for families' livelihood.
f) identify possible Canadian government resources to help strengthen and advance Lebanon's democracy, such as NGO's who are equipped with educating the Lebanese on political reforms. This is one area that the international community is requiring from Lebanon in exchange for monetary aid and economic recovery, and so therefore, Lebanon needs assistance in this area and to help the newly elected change MP's in the country with resources on reform.

c) efforts to assist a fact finding mission for Beirut blast through HRC. The victims of the Beirut blast, which include Lebanese Canadians want closure, and part of that is to find the ones who are accountable. While some progress is being done, there needs to be an independent fact finding mission on the ground and the victims have put this forth through the Human Rights Council of the United Nations. A step forward, would be to recruit signatories for this mission to help it pass at the next sitting.
d) Sanctions or legal actions through the International Court of Justice against Lebanese officials for violation of human rights. The Lebanese diaspora in Canada can assist in providing the necessary information and work with the Government of Canada on special teams to provide facts.

a) monetary assistance for the Lebanese Armed Forces and in particular, to help with a reservist program in every district in Lebanon (15), and also to help specifically women enter a non-combat role and pickup a trade that will help their community. Work with the UN to help with this as well as a well respected Canadian charity with feet on the ground inside Lebanon. For example, The Sisterhood of Diman Foundation in conjunction with the Canadian Red Cross.
b) monetary assistance for Education in Lebanon including adults, to help with enhancing the social fabric, diversity and inclusion among the communities
h) assist Canadians of Lebanese decent in obtaining their identity documentation by providing the Embassy of Lebanon in Ottawa, the Consul General in Montreal funding to allow Canadian residents and citizens to preserve their identities. Lebanese who arrive in Canada are proud to become part of this country's mosaic of cultures, and since Lebanon is internally strapped of resources due to the ongoing conflicts, refugees and economic crises, we do not want this important ability to obtain one's identity papers to be compromised. This has been identified as a critical issue in the 2022 Lebanese elections, and we do not want a repeat issue in 2026.
