Canada has targeted members of Haiti's economic elite with sanctions, arguing they have collaborated with gangs sowing instability across the country.
She said Canada is ready to spend $40 million to support that mission, if it's adopted by the UN.
Mark Richardson, a Global Affairs Canada director general for the Caribbean, testified that it is "too early" to have those conversations.
Conservative MP Shuvaloy Majumdar asked officials what Canada is doing to prevent the diversion of Canadian aid sent through the UN from reaching Haiti's gangs.
He asked whether Canadian aid is being diverted to gangs since Ottawa started responding to Haiti's security crisis.
