Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to both witnesses today. I truly appreciate your contribution to the work of this committee.

I'll ask my first question to Mr. Reilly-King. Earlier this month we had an official from CIDA before the committee to testify. I asked him what CIDA's approach to implementing the ODA Accountability Act was, given the three criteria we have under the act.

His reply to that question was the following, and I quote:So at CIDA, in our approach to this act, this is job one.... This is integral to everything we do.

Given your experience, Mr. Reilly-King, and the work you have done over the years, would you agree with that statement?
