Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Given the little time I have left, I won't dwell on funding for small and medium-sized international development organizations, which tend to be more present on the ground than large organizations. As Ms. McPherson said, we need to strike a better balance when it comes to funding for multilateral organizations, which are still important, large organizations and small and medium-sized organizations.
Mr. Côté, I would like to go back to the part of your presentation where you recommended quickly passing legislation on corporate due diligence for human rights and the environment to give the ombudsperson for responsible enterprise real investigative powers.
Would you say that they adopted Bill S‑211 on forced and child labour, which only requires companies to make voluntary declarations, and created this ombud position just to ease their conscience?
