Subject Matter Details

Grant, Contribution or Other Financial Benefit

• 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.

Grant, Contribution or Other Financial Benefit, Policies or Program

• a) monetary assistance for the Lebanese Armed Forces to help with a reservist program in every district in Lebanon (15) that would target women for non-combat roles within the Armed Forces. Work with the UN to help with this along with 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.

Legislative Proposal, Bill or Resolution

• 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.

Policies or Program

• e) Provide Technical Assistance to the Lebanese Government to create new and update existing policies pertaining to refugees and asylum seekers, including a policy framework to distinguish between Syrian Refugees and Syrian Economic migrants including a policy for Syrian Workers in Lebanon. 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 political reforms in Lebanon. 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.

Regulation

• g) identify possible Canadian government resources to help implement and/or enforce Lebanon's Independent Judiciary and return the republic to a state of rule of law
