OTTAWA — Caribbean leaders are asking Canada to ramp up its advocacy for reforming global financial institutions so that smaller states can tackle climate change.

They are also hoping an international military intervention in Haiti might be able to stem the flow of guns to other island nations.

The leaders kicked off Wednesday with a discussion on climate change, and biodiversity, followed by a discussion about the reform of lending institutions. "We come to these meetings and we're not getting the needle moving because ofthe absence of political will," she told her fellow leaders. Mottley noted there are a"remaining few countries who are blocking progress" to a reform, without naming which states.

Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Keith Rowley said guns are already spreading across the region and leading to multiple-casualty shootings involving assault weapons.
