Mr. Chair, I thank the honourable member for a great question.
I would maybe take a step back. Since the development of the feminist international assistance policy, we have scaled up our support not just for sexual and reproductive health and rights, but also for gender equality programming. We are now recognized, by the OECD DAC, as the largest bilateral donor for gender equality initiatives. We're scaling up our SRHR such that we are one of the top two or three right now.
A cross-cutting issue for both is preventing child, early and forced marriages, as the honourable member has suggested. Very rarely is there adequate consent. Very rarely is that a reflection of effective bodily autonomy, and very rarely is that an expression of equality, which we would like to see in the countries that we serve.
There are both global and local initiatives where Canada provides both financial and policy support. These issues are inextricably linked: autonomy, empowerment and CEFM. You can expect to see Canada to continue to play a significant role on those issues.
