Canada Wants to Play Its Role in Iraq's Reconstruction
From providing clean water and food to basic medical treatment, there will be a natural role for Canada in post-war reconstruction of Iraq, where the United States-led military strike entered the 6th day, Canada's Minister of International Cooperation, Susan Whelan, told reporters Monday.

She said the government of Canada would like to see the reconstruction work to be led by the United Nations.

"Obviously, we hope it will be under the multilateral organizations and led by the United Nations," she said.

The issue of who will be in charge of the reconstruction in Iraq following the US-led war is just as political as the war itself, according to her.

She said Canada will likely face "a very large" request on Wednesday from the United Nations as part of a plan on humanitarian aid to Iraq, on which Canada is working with other countries.
