Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all the witnesses for being here today.
I'm going to start with a general question about development assistance.
It's important for us to put things in perspective. Our government has been there to support the sector all this time. We also have to look at what other political party leaders are saying. For example, the leader of the official opposition is promising to cut international development assistance.
If a government of Canada—not our government, our government has always been there for international development—chooses to cut aid, as some have said they promise to do, how would that impact the sector?
I'd like to open up the floor to all the witnesses.
It's just in general terms. It's a theoretical question.
