Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thanks so much for being here. The committee has been seized with this study for the last several meetings, and your experience and input are highly valued.
Ms. Norton, I am going to turn some of my time over to you for a bit more discussion on the humanitarian situation. I know you have spent time on the ground there, and you have some incredible insight into what's going on.
Canada has been a generous contributor, and we're very thankful to Canadian taxpayers for what they have given to help resolve situations over there, but the humanitarian needs are great. I wonder if you could talk a little bit about the partners we are working with, the other countries that are donor participants, and how we are working together.
I know one of the things we hear is that oftentimes money that is pledged doesn't get there. Can you tell us how we are working to ensure the funds that are pledged are contributed, where they go, and who the humanitarian partners we're working with are?
It's a big question.
