UN Security Council has voted to boost its peacekeeping forces
The UN approved a recommendation by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to boost UN troop numbers in Haiti by 2,000 for six months, and UN police numbers by 1,500.
Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Lawrence Cannon says Canada is constantly re-evaluating its role and stands ready to commit more police and security forces to Haiti as soon as UN authorities "signal that conditions allow this."
