Thank you, sir.
Canada, as you know, has made a commitment to support the Palestinian population, which is going through a tough time. Since last March, Canada has provided $15 million in humanitarian aid to help the Palestinians in the west bank and Gaza.
As you know, like other donors, CIDA will not provide funds to the Hamas government if it refuses to comply with the principles of non-violence and the peace accords or to recognize Israel.
As regards CIDA's cooperation in the process, we know that the agency is giving funds to UNRWA, an assistance fund for Palestinian refugees.
Perhaps you'd like to add a comment.
