Thank you.
The Food Assistance Convention, as I said, is an international treaty that has about 15 countries signed on to it. Canada is the third-largest contributor. The two biggest ones are the U.S. and the European Union. Both of those countries have made major increases in their commitments over the past several years. They're now giving 30% to 40% more than what they did nine years ago, when the convention began.
Canada's minimum commitment is flat. As I said, that's the minimum commitment. Canada usually gives higher than the commitment, but there's nothing to stop a future government from dropping down to that minimum level.
We're suggesting that Canada should peg its minimum closer to what it's currently giving. It wouldn't actually cost any more money. It's more of a political commitment to say that we recognize this need, and we'll contribute at this level and peg it to the food price index. Then, if food prices go up, Canada's commitment goes up as well, and we can continue to feed just as many people.
