Thank you very much, Minister.
You mentioned briefly in your remarks already about the upcoming G8 and G20 meetings. The Government of Canada has taken a position to promote maternal and child health. We have a tragic situation around the world, where over half a million women are dying in childbirth, and many children are not making it to age five.
I would like to ask you if you could update the committee on what the Government of Canada is doing to promote this agenda with the upcoming meetings and tell us whether you are getting any kind of positive response from our colleagues in the G8 and G20 with regard to this issue.
