I highly appreciate this occasion to speak to such an esteemed group, the brain trust and critical advisers on the resolution of one of the world's most pressing, seemingly intractable and horrifying crises. For the sake of the Syrian people, the Middle East and global security, it is an important moment in time to reflect not only on how to mitigate the current turmoil but also on options for a peaceful resolution in Syria.

The Government of Canada brought together special envoys from 15 countries, along with representatives of the Syrian political opposition, the United Nations and Syrian civil society, as well as leading academics, to discuss the situation in Syria. This event, co-hosted by the Netherlands, took place in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, from November 11 to 13. Canada's partners welcomed the timely in-depth discussions and the collective taking stock of the situation in Syria. They commended Canada for including representatives of Syrian civil society and the opposition in the discussions; they have not always been included in allies' meetings on the conflict in Syria. The Honourable Stéphane Dion, Minister of Foreign Affairs, also held meetings with these representatives to hear their proposals for accelerating the cessation of hostilities.
