Thank you, Mr. Khan.
I'd like to go to a question for a number of the witnesses regarding how your organizations work. Can you be fairly short and succinct, but also tie it back to the accountability to your donors and to the Canadian government? Do you work largely through local partners, or do you work largely with staff based in Canada? How does that translate into accountability back to your donors and back to the Government of Canada?
My understanding from past experience would be that working through organizations such as yours with local partners to address disasters is far more effective than government-to-government or bilateral and then down through foreign governments.
I'll stop talking. Let's start with Mr. Khan and we'll go to Mr. Shariff next, please.
