Thank you. That's three questions if I understood correctly.
As regards increased international aid, as you are no doubt aware, in the 2006 budget, we allocated an additional amount of $320 million, including $250 million to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. As a political party, you must have seen in our election platform that we were committed to increasing international aid by $425 million over a five-year period.
I want to remind you that this is a very important issue for me and for our government. Of course, according to the budgetary estimates and the available amounts we'll have in coming years, it will be easier for me to provide more specific answers on the subject. Whatever the case may be, we are committed to increasing international aid.
The second question concerned legislation. As I told Ms. St-Hilaire earlier, if my memory serves me, I asked officials at my department to consider all possible options, particularly to ensure that aid is effective. We spoke of that in the throne speech.
The third question concerned the fight against malaria. I'm informed that there is very little malaria in Haiti. I remind you that, in the last budget, we allocated $250 million to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
