Thank you, Honourable MP Mike Lake. That's absolutely right. The estimate is 240 million. However, your colleague previously asked about the data. We're grateful to UNICEF, ECW and others on this call who are working night and day to improve that, but much more needs to be done, not just multilaterally but in each of the programs and communities. For example, how many times do we actually know how many kids with disabilities are being reached through a specific program and how many are not being reached? What are those barriers that are still leaving them out and leaving them behind?
Then, from a funding standpoint, how much funding are we really making sure is going to a particular program or for disability-inclusive education? We do know that what gets funded is indeed what gets prioritized and accomplished. As a community, we've done research through the call to action to identify the need for, at a very minimum, 5% of funding to be going to this important area, but that twin-track approach that we talked about earlier really indicates that it should be more—at least as a starting point. From an accountability standpoint, Canada and others have been an active part of the Global Disability Summit as well as what you just wonderfully mentioned with the UN Transforming Education Summit. These are opportunities to self-report, and we also encourage everyone to increase and really make sure that all of our work is fully accountable.
We have a relatively new disability marker in the OECD DAC system. Let's make sure that it is indeed being used in conjunction with education, starting for kids right from birth onward. Thank you so much.
