Thank you very much, minister.

We are also seeing a geographic shift in funding support. More and more NGOs in western Canada are receiving funding, with fewer and fewer NGOs in eastern Canada receiving support. In the last announcement, on December 23, if memory serves me correctly, funding for AQOCI international cooperation organizations dropped to something like 11%.

Can you explain that?
