Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll be splitting my time with my colleague, Ms. Vandenbeld.
In the two minutes that I have, I'd like to talk about Sudan. Mr. Nickerson, you mentioned that a whole-of-government approach, a full suite of diplomatic tools, be used.
First off, I'm sure you're well aware that when it comes to Sudan, our government has given $132 million in aid and, to the Democratic Republic of Congo, $142 million. We're meeting the moment, but I completely agree with you that there's always much more to be done, and I respect fully the work that you and your organization have done in Sudan.
To meet the moment, we also have a program for those who are fleeing violence in Sudan. It's for 3,250 applications for those seeking refuge to come to Canada.
On the issue of diplomatic tools, do you want to elaborate a little bit on that as it relates to Sudan, in one minute?
