Mr. Speaker, two days from now, Canada will be hosting a summit on maternal, newborn and child health in Toronto. This summit will provide civil society, the private sector and global and Canadian leaders in health the opportunity to galvanize consensus where to focus efforts to maximize results for those in need.
I look forward to attending this summit, along with the Right Hon. Prime Minister, the Hon. Minister of International Development and high profile guests, guests like his Highness the Aga Khan, Melinda Gates, Ban Ki Moon, the President of Tanzania and many others who will discuss how to save the lives of more mothers, children and newborns.
This summit will see Canada continuing in our leadership role, addressing the health challenges faced by women, children and newborns in developing countries.
Canadians can be very proud of our government's strong track record in saving the lives of women, children and newborns all over the world.
