I have a very quick question specifically for CIDA.

As you know, in Canada we've kept up our commitment, b there is also a kind of a freezing, and no increases, and yet we have a long-term commitment to reach 0.7% of our GDP. So if this government were interested in actually reaching this goal, should it not immediately end the freeze and start increasing ODA?
