Mr. Speaker, Canada is the fifth-largest donor in terms of humanitarian aid in Iraq. Just last week, Canada launched with UNICEF the “no lost generation” initiative in Iraq. This initiative will assist up to 200,000 children in Iraq and help them access education opportunities.
This is concrete action that reaches out to people who need it and who are most vulnerable: youth.
Canada is the fifth-largest contributor in Iraq, and that is something Canadians can be proud of.
