Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
I want to start by thanking all of our witnesses. The work you do on the ground and working with children in these humanitarian crises is extremely difficult. I salute you. I've worked in this sector for most of my career. I know what you sacrifice to do this work. I want to just take a moment to say thank you very much for your efforts.
I have a few questions, and will start with the Save the Children team of Ms. Logel Carmichael and Ms. Russell.
Ms. Russell, you just talked about that 1% and how important that is and how we are, of course, very grateful for all the contributions the Canadian government has made to date. Of course, we are not near where we need to be at the 1%.
We have heard from others—and I would love to get your perspective—that even the commitments that have been made have been very slow to roll out. They have been very slow to hit the ground at a moment in time when there is such desperate urgency. Could you speak to that, please?
