This post however comes from our defense department: a news conference with General Rick Hillier, Chief of Defense Staff that just aired live on CTV Newsnet.

"We stand ready to help," said General Hillier. "They know what we are capable of."

"All units for disaster relief are on high stand-by."

"The US Ambassador knows that we can help and that we want to help."
