I do not agree with that. A really useful way of thinking about that, I think, is reflecting on the current context of humanitarian crises. They are increasingly protracted. Increasingly, they are not just for a few days or a few weeks, but for years and years.
As someone who is in that situation, you are not thinking, “This is a humanitarian context,” or “No, it is a development context,” or “No, this is a peace and stabilization context.” The integration between those things is very real and very profound for the communities at the forefront of these crises.
One of the calls we have been making to Global Affairs Canada is for increased integration between humanitarian, peacebuilding and broader development assistance efforts. There is a lot of work we could do from the perspective of the machinery of government and implementation. We could do a much better job there that would much better reflect the realities of communities and people on the ground.
