Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Professor Percival, thank you for your opening remarks. You mentioned that rhetoric soars with this government but there's little corresponding action. We know that overseas development assistance has been cut by 10% under this government compared to the previous government, from about 0.3% of GNI to about 2.7% of GNI. Canada has not met its commitment to 0.7% of GNI for foreign aid for many years.
What do you think is an appropriate target for us to achieve in the coming years? Obviously 0.7%, I think, is not realistic immediately. What should we be aiming for?
