Thank you very much.
I know we're very short on time.
From what we're hearing, it's about two things. It's about the amount of funding but also the flexibility, the nimbleness, the false dichotomy between development and humanitarian aid and the triple nexus.
Canada has, since 2015, increased our ODA by 54%, and we've committed to continue doing that to 2030. We've just in the last budget, specifically for humanitarian crises, announced another $350 million.
I'm very happy, Dr. Nickerson, that you mentioned the DRC. The minister and I have both been to the DRC within the last four months. As was mentioned, we've increased that amount by $142 million as well as increased funds to Sudan.
Could you very quickly tell me, in addition to the amount of funding, what can we do to make it more flexible, more predictable and more long term, so that we can be more effective when we have to pivot and when a development issue becomes a humanitarian crisis and vice versa?
