Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Thank you everyone, and ministers, thanks to both of you for being here this morning.

Minister Fantino, you attended the meeting in Addis Ababa. Could you give us a sense of what you took away from that meeting, anything that struck you while you were there? Could you also tell us how much the international community committed, in total, at the meeting?
