When I asked the minister in the House of Commons during question period whether or not he would be considering adding the Humanitarian Coalition to this matching fund, he did say that all things were being reviewed and that this was the start not the finish. Certainly, I would hope that you would take the information you've received from all members of this committee and seriously consider adding the Humanitarian Coalition. I think it's a missed opportunity when we don't have organizations with such expertise that are already on the ground able to increase the impacts that generous Canadians have asked for.
The next question I have is a little bit around the funding that will be required by Turkey and Syria in the long term. We know, of course, that there is the emergency response after a horrific event like this. We know there's the humanitarian aid, but there will be a need for much more and on a much longer term commitment. We do know that the UN just this morning launched a $400-million appeal for earthquake victims in Syria.
I'm just wondering what Canada's stance is. Will we be committing our fair share to that?
