Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses. These are things that, as somebody who's worked in the sector, I know we've been calling for for a very long time. It's very good to hear this and to know this is getting on the record.
For me, this study is so very important because we know that women—because of conflicts, because of COVID-19, because of climate change—are disproportionately burdened right now and are feeling many of the effects of those things. As my colleague Ms. Bendayan pointed out, it is a day past International Women's Day, and it seems like a very good time to be asking questions about how Canada can do more to support women around the world.
What I'm going to focus all my questions on is what we need to see from the Government of Canada. What are the recommendations you want to see in this report for the Government of Canada?
To start with, can you talk to me a little bit about the Global Affairs Canada accountability framework, how you feel about that, how you feel about the first report that came out, and how you feel about the fact that we have a commitment to $700 million for SRHR, yet we haven't gotten anywhere close to that, to date, and time is running out? Could you explain that a little bit?
