No, and as I responded to one of our colleagues before, any decisions made are not individual decisions. This is important. It's important not only for what we would be able to do to help developing countries and those living in poverty, but I also understand and recognize that it is important for Canada's foreign relations and relations with many countries and hemispheres around the world.
But as you yourself said, sir, if success is to be measured in terms of numbers of lives saved, we must focus on outcomes, on proven cost-effective solutions that work to prevent needless suffering and death. That is exactly what I'm trying to accomplish and what our government is trying to accomplish. What I would like to say to you is that if because you are on a list, etc., it is indicating to you or in your reading that there's going to be less effort in Africa--$2.1 billion was spent last year, leading up to there, for Africa. If you look at our total budget at CIDA, that's a significant portion of our international assistance envelope.
