Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As a French-speaking member, I seldom get the chance to hear witnesses speak the language of Molière. I would like to thank Ms. Grantham and Mr. Sauvé for granting me that pleasure. I also appreciate Ms. Dabrusin giving Mr. Sauvé an opportunity to add his remarks. I was very glad to hear that exchange.
My question is for all of the witnesses.
The United Nations Secretary-General called on the international community to abide by a ceasefire during the COVID-19 pandemic. In June, some 170 countries joined the Secretary-General in his appeal to respect the global ceasefire.
You are out there on the ground, working with vulnerable populations. Do you feel as though the appeal was heard and is being respected? If not, are the conflicts that were under way prior to the call for a ceasefire continuing or have new conflicts erupted?
