Thank you for the question.
The Canadian Red Cross has a very effective relationship with CIDA. We received a grant from CIDA for the emergency response in Haiti in the first few days, but I forget how much it was for. That grant was to support the Red Cross' actions in Haiti. It was most effective.
It is a system that we use almost every day, because emergencies and disasters occur almost everywhere around the world, as Mr. Ray said. As the Red Cross, we respond to these emergencies every week. We are supported by CIDA in this type of response.
When CIDA announced the counterpart funds, we made two requests for Haiti, for the houses. The two requests totalled about $42 million. CIDA has processed the files very efficiently. We signed the agreements last March and are going with that. We have had no difficulty presenting projects to CIDA. We have a good dialogue with colleagues from the agency. Files have been managed very efficiently.
