The second issue has to do with the cuts taking place and who is carrying the load here.

The numbers I have are that, essentially, CIDA is carrying the load of the cuts but Finance Canada isn't taking any of the load. In terms of percentage shares of ODA, CIDA does 75% of it, Foreign Affairs 8% of it, Finance Canada 10%, and International Research and Development gets 3%.

When you look at the cuts, they are all to CIDA, all to Foreign Affairs, and all to International Research and Development, but nothing to Finance. Can you explain that?
