Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, Mr. Minister. I am always happy to have you with us.
What's happening over there is awful. The situation for women and other vulnerable people that you mentioned is very difficult when it comes to health care, safety and, of course, education. It's a humanitarian crisis we don't talk enough about.
It's also important to enhance Canada's ability to provide humanitarian aid. In developing the new rules, did you speak to non-governmental organizations to ensure that their methods are taken into account? I want to make sure that compliance with the new measures will not result in additional, more burdensome work for them.
