The Chair (Hon. Robert Nault (Kenora, Lib.)) Liberal Bob Nault

I'd like to bring these hearings to order.

Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we'll continue with our study of the Canadian government's countries of focus for bilateral development assistance.

Just for the information of colleagues, the department put this out yesterday. It's the international assistance review discussion paper. If you haven't had a chance to look at it, I recommend that you have a peek at it, because it's the beginning of the department's review, which of course will dovetail into our discussions here.

This afternoon for the next hour we want to hear from the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, the Canadian Council for International Co-operation, and Oxfam Canada.

I'd like Jim Cornelius to do his presentation. We'll go to Fraser after that. Then we'll go to Kelly and her colleagues.

Please start, Jim.
