Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for appearing here today. It has been interesting reading and getting up to speed on this particular issue.
I'd like to address this to all of you, so I'll quickly pose the two issues I'm concerned about. I'd like to pick up where my colleague, Ms. Deschamps from the Bloc, asked a question about the viability of countries that have signed on picking and choosing what they will and will not fund. I am addressing the practicality of how you see this working. It was Ms. Roberts who mentioned that harmonization is something you like to see, but if there isn't harmonization and picking and choosing goes on, how big an impediment do you think it will be to making progress in this area?
The second issue I have is with respect to our government's most recent statement with respect to funding reproductive health and in fact restricting it. How do you think this is going to be viewed by the WHO assembly in two weeks? How can we reasonably explain that?
Perhaps you would care to comment, bearing in mind I only get the five minutes.
