Thank you.
I'm the director general responsible for humanitarian assistance, given the focus of our support right now on humanitarian assistance.
Canada works with a small number of very trusted partners who have a great deal of experience working in these kinds of environments. They have established measures in place to minimize the risks of misappropriation or diversion of humanitarian assistance and to make sure these emergency relief items go to the people they are intended for.
There are occasional incidents of diversion. There's no question about that. That happens in any high-risk environment. In this case it's no different, but it's not a systemic risk. It's a risk around criminality, where occasionally criminals take advantage of humanitarian activities to take some of the goods.
We get notifications about this. The systems are in place. They work. It's an unfortunate consequence of working in high-risk environments that we do get these kinds of small-scale diversions.
