Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Just to make sure I am clear, I did not in any way intend to suggest that there was a causal connection between the events. I simply wanted you to provide us with information as to the impacts of these floods on political instability and on the economic crisis or, vice versa, the impacts of the economic crisis and political instability on the country's reaction to this natural phenomenon. I do see that there is some understandable discomfort with the idea of taking you down this road.
According to the Global Climate Risk Index, Pakistan is one of ten countries in the world, as you noted, that were most affected by extreme weather events between 2000 and 2019. Mr. Sajjan's mandate letter states that he is to:
Work with the Minister of Environment and Climate Change to mobilize and provide climate finance in order to support developing country adaption, mitigation and resilience, including support for small island states at particular risk of climate-related emergencies.
Has action been taken on that aspect of the mandate letter?
If so, what action relates to Pakistan specifically?
