Minister, I hope the next time you come to the committee, it will be for a two-hour time slot. Maybe we could even give you more opening statement time in the process.
I want to ask about the situation in Ukraine. Canada announced a donation matching program with the Canadian Red Cross. During past crises, I heard concerns that the government's selecting certain organizations and leaving others out in matching programs had the effect of directing private donations to particular organizations and not to others. In some cases, they're directed away from Canadian diaspora-led organizations with strong connections in both Canada and the recipient country.
Could you explain why the Red Cross is the only organization selected so far? I mean no disrespect to the Red Cross for the great work they do, but would the government considering matching opportunities for additional organizations with long track records, such as the Ukrainian Canadian Congress and the Catholic Near East Welfare Association?
