Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says a lasting solution to the crisis in Haiti will have to come from within the crisis-racked country.

Trudeau made the comments on his final day at the UN as he sat down with Ariel Henry, Haiti's embattled acting prime minister.

Trudeau announced an additional $80 million in humanitarian aid and security help for the overmatched Haitian national police.

Canada is also imposing fresh sanctions against three more members of Haiti's corruption-riven business community, bringing the total to 29 to date.

Trudeau and Bob Rae, Canada's ambassador to the UN, also presided over an ad hoc advisory group of UN delegates trying to chart a path

forward.

The prime minister is scheduled to hold a wrap-up news conference later today before returning to Ottawa.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says his party will introduce a bill this fall that would make it harder for peopleaccused of certain crimes to get bail. Poilievre says the proposal would create a new category of major offences that includes things like sexual assault, kidnapping, human trafficking, home invasion and firearms charges. The Conservative bill would impose a reverse onus on people accused of such crimes requiring that they prove they should be released on bail.Premiers, police associations and the federal Tories have been calling for stricter bail laws in recent months.
