Thank you, Chair. I will be sharing my time with Ms. Sidhu.
First of all, I want to thank the team at Foreign Affairs for all the incredible efforts they've made on repatriation. My constituents are incredibly grateful, and I think all Canadians have now become very aware of the consular service. Those of us who have travelled abroad have often seen the advice to register with the consular service. We now know why, so I extend a real heartfelt thank you.
I also have a special shout-out to Ms. Morgan. A year ago, you and I were in the same ICD class at Rotman, and I don't think we ever thought at that time that we would meet like this.
My question specifically relates to some of the international assistance that the government has provided. Minister Karina Gould has made a number of announcements: $50 million in international assistance through the World Health Organization, and other partners for potential bilateral support for developing countries in response to COVID-19. Actually, the list is very lengthy.
Earlier today, one of our witnesses expressed a certain amount of concern that donations that went from Canada, or from any country, to the UN took quite a bit of time to actually get to the front-line services they were designed to support.
I wonder if Canada has a way of vetting whether aid goes where we want it to go.
