Thank you, Chair.
Thank you for coming today. Most of our study so far has been on the military action and I think it's good that we're switching channels because you are on the ground and dealing with what's now and what's in the future.
I was in Mali five years ago and even though it's a poor country—I visited the farms and some of the communities—there was a transition and optimism going there. It's a shame that it's into a bit of a civil war, and civil wars bring out the darkness of human beings. As somebody mentioned, there are over 4 million people in need there right now. I think some of the recommendations that have come out so far are, of course, that there has to be more aid money and that we should have a CIDA presence in Mali.
Also, I think the whole UN was alluded to. The UN is going to have a key role here and their present government should have a better relationship with them as we go forward.
I have a couple of questions first for World Vision, and then I'm going to go over to you, Mark.
I think, Elly, you mentioned this $1 million the government provided to help work with World Vision. Can you just give me a quick description? Is that for Mali or is that for Africa? Or what's that $1 million for?
