Thank you, Chair.
Thank you so much for being here today.
Mr. Stevenson, in your comments you talked about stability, growth, and good governance. I wonder if you could elaborate on that a little bit, what that looks like as far as child protection is concerned.
I attended the Girl Summit with David Cameron in England last summer. I see from my notes from it that Zambia has a whole of government approach they have undertaken. Each ministry has a commitment within its scope of jurisdiction to address issues of gender equality.
In Somalia the government has committed to end some of the horrific cultural practices that girls undergo.
India has had legislation since 2006 to abolish early enforced marriage. In fact, they said that 250 million women voted in the last election.
In Pakistan they recognize they have a problem with early enforced marriage, but they've introduced laws there, too.
What does good governance look like? How does Canada help them with the enforcement part of that?
