Mr. Chair, will you give me the opportunity to explain?
The numbers that are being evaluated are from the end of the year. The budget we're asking for now is for the beginning of the year. Just as in previous years, especially last year, additional funding was provided based on the crisis that required it. As you stated, yes, we do need to support Ukraine. The need, during COVID, to enhance health systems around the world does continue. We do need also to look at the food security crisis. Throughout the year, as in previous years, we will look at where we need to step up. What I would encourage members is that we have a conversation at the end of the year in terms of where our actual funding will be.
Currently our baseline budget year after year has increased.
