Thank you.
I agree wholeheartedly with Ms. Mirza's comments. I think what this pandemic has done is really bring a strong realization of the impact of a change in circumstances, such as having schools closed in our own country, having schools closed in Canada, and what that means for a lot of people in this country.
Reflecting on the impact that COVID has on people who are also living through displacement, living through humanitarian crises, and helping and encouraging people to understand the double impact, the dual suffering that is COVID plus the humanitarian displacement, the humanitarian crises that these populations are living through, is extremely important. It's also extremely important in helping them understand the importance of Canada's place within the global humanitarian community, and the influence and the leadership that Canada can have in directing how humanitarian crises and humanitarian contacts need support to protect children in such a situation as a global pandemic.
Thank you.
