Okay.
I'll just cut to the end.
Ministers, including Minister Champagne, Minister Gould, Minister Garneau and the Prime Minister, have communicated our concerns directly to Ethiopian authorities at the highest levels.
In these discussions, ministers have emphasized the importance of the Government of Ethiopia taking all measures to ensure rapid and unimpeded humanitarian access and the protection of civilians, including refugees. Ministers have underscored the impact of seeking a resolution that safeguards prospects for long-term ethnic reconciliation. Ministers have called for credible, independent investigation of alleged human rights violations, regardless of the perpetrators.
Canada has been doing its part to respond to humanitarian needs. Minister Gould announced $3 million in humanitarian assistance in November for people affected by the situation in Tigray, Ethiopia, and in Sudan. For 2021, Global Affairs has further approved $34 million to support humanitarian assistance in Ethiopia through UN agencies, the ICRC and NGOs.
