My thanks to the witnesses for joining us for this important study.
Ms. Deschamps-Laporte, you have just been talking about collective ambition and referring, among other things, to certain international assistance programs that normally come with a budget allocation.
In terms of collective ambition, what we are currently seeing around the world is that humanitarian assistance to the tune of billions of dollars is subject to budget cuts. We have seen it with USAID, the United States Agency for International Development. We have seen it all over Europe, and we saw it in Canada's most recent federal budget. I agree with you entirely that international assistance does indeed produce concrete changes when it is used appropriately.
Do you see any danger in further reductions in international assistance? Countries like Japan have reduced their international assistance considerably and are about to move to other things entirely in terms of international assistance.
