Elias Bejjani/LCCC Chairman
The majority of the People in Lebanon, from all nominations, and all walks of life, with no fear or hesitation have said on Sunday through their casting votes, No to Hezbollah, No to Terrorism, No To Syria, No to Iran, No to the Axis of Evil, and no to the education of hatred, rejection of others, suicide and fanaticism  They said NO to General Michel Aoun whose delusions of grandiose made him fool himself and believe that he can simply negate, destroy and marginalize the Lebanese Christian deeply rooted history, solid democratic and patriotic convictions, love for peace, and lead them in joining the Iranian-Syrian-Hezbollah destructive and terrorism schemes.  The Lebanese said loudly YES TO PEACE , DEMOCRACY and an astounding yes to the legitimate State, and a courageous and big NO to the Terrorist Hezbollah mini state.  Lebanon, The Holy Land Of the CEDARS by God's blessings will always be an oasis for Freedoms and democracy. It will never be a replicate of the Iranian Mullah's oppressive Regime. Congratulations to the Lebanese faithful and patriotic people for their peaceful and daring achievement. Beloved Lebanese in Lebanon: We, The Lebanese in Diaspora are very proud of you.

Thank you Mr. Harper. Once again you proved to be the right man for the right job. Thanks to our honest and courageous Prime Minister, His Excellency Mr. Stephen Harper Harper. Thanks from the Lebanese Canadian Coordination Council (LCCC) and all the members of the Canadian Lebanese community all over Canada who fully share the Council's love for peace and freedom, their honoring of democracy and the rule of law, and their commitment to Human Rights, tolerance, diversity and the acceptance of others. Thank you, Mr. Harper, for standing tall like the Holy Cedars of our homeland Lebanon. Thank you for declaring loudly and strongly Canada's firm stance against terrorist organizations and the states of the axis of evil. Thank you for saying a big NO to any dialogue with the terrorist Hezbollah organization, which is Iran's army in Lebanon and which, through force and against the will of the majority of the Lebanese people, has erected a state inside the state. This fundamentalist organization is fully run, financed and controlled by Iran and Syria, and has dragged Lebanon and its people into a devastating and crippling war last July. Its leadership, and in response to military instructions from Iran and Syria, has been for the last three weeks resorting to scare tactics to topple Lebanon's legitimate elected Government .

LCCC Press Release/Wednesday, 2 August, 2006
Toronto-Ontario:
The LCCC, an umbrella organization for six non-profit Lebanese Canadian groups, strongly condemns the undemocratic political tactics that the Opposition Liberal, NDP and Bloc Quebecois parties executed yesterday during a hearing session for the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development. The session was initiated by the Opposition parties to challenge the Conservative government’s Middle East policy and the evacuation of Canadians from Lebanon.
 Several groups and individuals applied to be witnesses and were accepted by the Clerk of the Committee. These witnesses traveled to Ottawa from across the country, but were unjustly prevented from delivering their statements. Among them was Mr. Elias Bejjani, LCCC Chairman and the Canadian Lebanese Human Right Federation (CLHRF) Spokesman, (a member in the LCCC coalition). It is astounding that although the hearing pertained to Lebanon, Opposition MPs deemed it appropriate to silence Lebanese witnesses.  Below is the statement (in Arabic, French and English) that CLHRF Spokesman Elias Bejjani had prepared but was prevented from delivering:

LCCC URGENT CALL TO THE LEBANESE IN DIASPORA
We appeal to the Lebanese people in Diaspora countries and draw their attention to the fact that while they should feel empathy for their own suffering people in Beirut, in the South and in every corner of Lebanon. However, that empathy should not be confused with sympathy for Hezbollah, as we see several prominent Lebanese groups, web sites and media doing. We call on the Lebanese people everywhere to demonstrate in front of Syrian and Iranian embassies to tell them to stop supporting Hezbollah and stop shipping weapons and providing political cover for the Hezbollah Group. The only direct cause for the ongoing destruction of Lebanon is the pointless and reckless acts of Hezbollah who did not consult the Lebanese people or the Lebanese government. Its Leadership only obeyed Tehran’s and Damascus’ orders. This is treason and violates the Lebanese constitution.

Background
The committee met on August 1. In the morning, the committee MPs had an opportunity to question the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Peter MacKay. In the afternoon, the Opposition MPs, mainly led by Alexa McDonough of the NDP, put forward a procedural motion calling for committee business to be dealt with before the witnesses were heard. The government MPs responded that concluding the committee business before hearing from the witnesses was like passing a verdict in a trial before calling witnesses. Ms McDonough went further, stating that the witnesses were identified with a single well-defined, narrow position, and challenged their credibility. It should be noted that Ms. McDonough made these damaging allegations against witnesses approved by the Clerk of the Committee, while knowing neither the witnesses nor the content of their testimony
.
