And your high commissioners and ambassadors will give you a double thumbs-up.
My questions, Minister, are these, and if you can't answer them but can get the information for the committee, that would be great. They're as follows, and I'll just fire them off.
What has happened to the stabilization and reconstruction task force? I understand that it's only focusing on Afghanistan, Sudan, and Haiti. What is going to happen in terms of those funds for countries like Uganda, Somalia, Congo, and countries in West Africa that are now trying to dig themselves out from under years of conflict?
My second question: Is there any funding left, and what are those funds for conflict prevention and child soldier rehabilitation? I know that is close to your heart.
Why was public diplomacy gutted to the tune of $11.8 million, and why was the foreign policy research gutted by $1.3 million?
Also, on weapons of mass destruction, that program has been decreased from $107.8 million down to $85.9 million, and will drop down to $138,000 by 2008-09. This is for the removal and securing of weapons of mass destruction, a very important program.
Lastly, on the PRT for Afghanistan, if you could tell us what moneys are going in for what, that would be great.
Thank you.
