Mr. Chair, that question highlights and recognizes that UNRWA is the largest UN agency and has the most capacity to effectively deliver life-saving aid. If it were defunded, it would be an incredible disaster, the likes of which we've never seen. We've been disgusted by the attacks we've seen on UNRWA from various sectors. UNRWA runs hospitals and provides water and food to people who have been suffering from violence and displacement for over a year.
Defunding UNRWA, we think, would be unreasonable as a response to concerns about it. It would be as unreasonable as—if I can use an analogy—allegations of multiple MPs of different parties contributing to or participating in foreign interference. If we were to argue that based on those kinds of allegations, we should dissolve the institution of the House of Commons, we would not find that a reasonable response. Similarly, we should not defund UNRWA.
UNRWA is essential to providing life-saving aid to people in the region who need it the most, so we should continue to support it.
