There's no question that if we're dividing too small a pie, we're not going to get the results, we're not going to feed the people who need to be fed, right? So it isn't a question of picking one thing in competition with the others. It is absolutely legitimate to identify priorities, but to the extent we're identifying priorities, we need to ensure there's a concerted global response so critical pieces of this puzzle aren't falling without attention.
Certainly in terms of the responsibility that Canada has with respect to funding climate adaptation, that does arise from our official development assistance obligations. It arises from the fact that we are one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases on the planet, and given that fact we have a responsibility to contribute to the global response there, at the same time recognizing that our collective response, globally, is far short of what our own governments have committed to.
At the meetings we had with the sherpas the week before last, they admit we're $18 billion off target. Our figure is somewhere at $30 billion, so I won't even argue the difference, but what is their plan in June, in Muskoka, to identify the $18 billion that we're short?
