Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I will share my time with Mr. Rae. I just have one question for the minister.
Madam Minister, my question is about the funds dedicated to Haiti. The government pledged to match the amount of charitable donations made by Canadians, up to $220 million. However, none of the matching funds have been distributed yet. The order paper answer even says that these matching funds are financed partly through the $150 million allocated after the earthquake and the $400 million from the donors conference. In other words, the matching funds are coming out of the existing pledges and the majority of pledges have yet to be delivered.
That means, in my opinion, the government specifically, in a sense, misled the Canadian population, because Canadians felt their donations would be matched by new, not recycled, money.
Do you not think these pledges of money that have not yet been delivered would be much more helpful to stop the spread of cholera? You talk about giving this and giving that, but we don't have any amounts. We'd like to get from your department--not today but later on--the amount of money that was given to Haiti in the current year, poste par poste. I would like to have the facts. I like facts and figures, not just to say that we give this and we give that and we love everyone in the world.
