I would agree with you. I think this last year in particular has been hopefully unprecedented, given the two very catastrophic natural disasters, the first being the Haiti earthquake on January 12, and then the extended period of floods in Pakistan. Of course, there were other crises as well, and now we're dealing with the cholera outbreak in Haiti. Those have, of course, led to us requesting supplementary resources.
On top of that, the Prime Minister made maternal, newborn, and child health the centrepiece of the G-8 and also $1.1 billion in new dollars over five years. A portion of that $173 million would be for this year again in supplementary estimates.
Overall, I think your point is that these are on top of ongoing programming. They require, in each and every case, for us to identify the highest priorities. In the case of Africa, as I think the minister indicated, Canada has doubled its assistance and met the G-8 commitment to do so. In the case of maternal, newborn, and child health, the Prime Minister and the minister have indicated that 80% of our new commitment on that will go to Africa. Seven of the 10 countries on which we will be focusing in particular for maternal, newborn, and child health will be African countries. That again is a prioritization on Africa because of the extent to which many African countries are falling behind in terms of the two millennium development goals around maternal mortality and child mortality.
I'm not sure if that answers your question.
