The minister must realize, through you to him, Mr. Chair, that a huge number of people have needs. Even Canada's contribution is not going to be sufficient. World Vision, as well as Care Canada and other Canadian-based organizations, cannot get this work done. They have resources that they have received from other sectors, but they have food packets and medicine ready to go, sitting in containers that they cannot deliver.
I appreciate that, in the meantime, some work is being done, and it should be done. It needs to continue being done. However, there is zero justification in this urgent situation that additional resources are not put on the ground and are allowed to not be put on the ground.
I asked a question of the president and other NGOs to find out if Canada were to enter into an agreement with them—a letter of understanding, a memorandum of understanding and such—to say that if they delivered care packets and such on the ground to starving children and children dying of malnutrition, they would not be prosecuted under Canada's Criminal Code. That would suffice for them to do this work.
Is the minister looking at this option?
