Mr. Speaker, it will not come as any surprise to my friend from Vancouver East that I reject the premise of her question.
The minister has been clear that she took the decision on behalf of her department. The minister is not one to go along just to get along. She is not afraid to take difficult decisions and I think she made a good decision in this regard.
Just because a non-governmental organization gets a grant from the government does not mean it has an entitlement to receive it in perpetuity.
The minister has done a lot to reform CIDA. She has done a lot to ensure that every single dollar allocated to support the most vulnerable in difficult and poor places on this earth can get the best result for the Canadian taxpayer.
