Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I have just one or two comments on the side. First, if the Liberal government in fact did propose a $10 billion commitment in 2005, I think that after 12 years of having done nothing it could only be described as a kind of deathbed repentance.
I also want to comment on what I could hardly believe my ears on, if I correctly heard one of my friends opposite say that the Government of Canada should have been able to predict three years ago that Obama was going to win this election. I don't know whether I heard that correctly.
