Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all the witnesses for their testimony and for all the work they're doing in Pakistan.
First, Mr. Khan, Pakistan has contributed less than 1% to global warming, and yet it's one of the countries being most impacted. I'm curious to know how you see Canada's role in supporting Pakistan and ensuring that around the world we are better prepared for climate disasters. As well, COP27 is happening in the next few weeks in Egypt. There will be lots of conversations about international financing for climate-related loss and damage. I'm sure that the enormous damage caused by the flooding in Pakistan will be top of mind for people there.
You spoke a little bit about the need for debt swapping and debt forgiveness, and how that could help Pakistan with climate-resilient infrastructure. In my mind, Canada, as a high-income country but also with our historic and ongoing high per capita emissions, has a responsibility to do more. Can you speak a little bit about what it would mean if this kind of debt forgiveness were implemented, and why it's so important for Canada to step up on a global stage?
