Champagne: Lebanon must form a government that can implement long-demanded reforms
Canada has offered to join Lebanon's investigation into this month's seismic Beirut port blast but under conditions that ensure a credible and transparent probe that "gets to the bottom of things", the visiting foreign minister said on Thursday.

Canadian Foreign Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne said after meeting Aoun that Ottawa was ready to assist "under conditions" that would be defined. He did not elaborate.

"The Lebanese people expect that if Canada participates in this investigation it is because it is going to be credible, transparent and get to the bottom of things to get justice," he said in televised remarks.

Champagne, like other Western officials, said Lebanon must form a government that can implement long-demanded reforms and fight corruption to unlock foreign financial assistance.

"Everyone understands that the international aid must be accompanied by serious reforms," Champagne said. "I think that the biggest of the reforms is that impunity must end."
