Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Minister, you may not agree with this characterization, but all of us are hearing from stakeholders who are concerned and have a perception that the government is recently doing much less with Canadian charities and Canadian-based organizations and instead funnelling more dollars through UN-affiliated organizations. My perspective, and I think the perspective of many other parliamentarians, is that it is very important to be working with Canadian organizations, consulting Canadian stakeholders and being in constant dialogue with them and drawing on their expertise.
However, there's one Canadian organization that has done relatively well under your government, and I note the record of significant spending through WE Charity on international development assistance during the tenure of your government, so I wonder if you can tell us how much the Government of Canada has given to WE Charity for international development since taking office?
