Thank you, Chair.
Thank you very much for being here. It's nice to see you all again.
Dr. Bhutta, thank you so much for joining us from Toronto. I think I'm going to be down visiting you sometime in June. I think there's an event then and I look forward to that because we have a great partnership with SickKids Hospital and you have been outstanding in the work you've done. Thank you so much.
Mr. Morley, one of the things that we've talked about is the need to continue with ODA and the disbursements. However, from my own experience I've seen how money has perhaps not been spent wisely in the past and I'm not convinced that it is about the amount of money necessarily but how we spend the money. I use the example of a project that I visited in South Sudan that had been funded some 10 or 12 years ago.
When I looked at it, I came back and I said to the minister, I don't believe this is getting the kinds of results that we really feel should be accomplished. I suggested that we actually double the capacity of the nurses training school in Juba, which would get front-line nurses out into the community.
Do you not think that those are the kinds of effective programs that we can engage in, because we know there is never going to be enough money? The Addis meeting is looking at a call for some $1 trillion globally, which is not available. We know that there is donor fatigue in many of the countries and in many of the projects we see a diminishing amount of money.
How do we ensure that the money that is being spent is going to be spent the most effectively and get the results that we know we need to accomplish?
