Canada has done great work to recalibrate its sanctions framework, taking a more targeted approach. We need to ensure that these changes have been communicated to the financial organizations and to people within our supply chain. This will help organizations like Islamic Relief work with agility and will allow us to get aid through to those most in need more quickly.
We've already mentioned that funding is needed. When we're looking at the numbers, we consider the destruction. I think Dr. Al-Kassem mentioned that the destruction in Syria is greater in terms of numbers, in terms of area, than in Gaza. We've never seen anything like Gaza. When you consider the huge need, we need governments to come forward and support and fund our long-term rehabilitation and sustainable development programs.
Canada has always been a respected humanitarian leader. It's going to take a country like Canada to show leadership on a global scale to inspire others to come forward and support the needs on the ground in Syria.
Those are the things that come to mind.
