Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
First of all, I want to commend you, Mr. Barr, for the work carried out by your council. It is important to maintain that awareness on a daily basis within our society, which is in a privileged position, compared to the rest of the planet.
What solution can you see to the absurd situation we have currently, which is that the Prime Minister of Canada is in Tanzania saying that additional monies are being devoted to this and that the only reason we cannot meet the government's current commitment is that growth in Canada has been stronger than what was forecast? Therefore, we won't honour our commitment as regards the percentage.
Is there a solution whereby, when we get richer and grow faster, we avoid reducing our contribution, in percentage terms, to the fight against poverty?
