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.
