Mr. Chair, first I'd like to thank the member for her recognition of some new programming from Global Affairs. I'll make sure that we pass that on to our colleagues responsible for that program.
In terms of SRHR, the commitment by the Prime Minister in 2019 was to scale up our support for SRHR to an average level of $700 million by the next fiscal year, 2023-24, and then to maintain that spending out to 2030. At the time the commitment was made, we were providing a much lower level of support than $700 million annually, so every year we have been building in our programming to increase. We expect to hit that target of $700 million for comprehensive SRHR next year, so we feel we are on track to deliver on the government's commitment. We are also on track to then maintain that level of spending out to 2030.
Furthermore, I would say it isn't just about writing big cheques to our largest international partners and doing the same thing. The commitment in 2019 really was about shifting to a comprehensive approach to SRHR. The investments that we're making to increase access to comprehensive sexuality education, to family planning services, and to safe abortion and postabortion care are investments that we're proud of and that we think are taking us in an important direction.
