I think a number of them die. But as disturbing as that is, 30 times more survive but survive with deep disabilities and ongoing health issues. Some of you may have had an opportunity to meet women in countries like Ethiopia, where there's an epidemic of fistula. The number of women whose day-to-day lives is absolutely defined by the fact that they cannot control their own bodies because of the damage that was done to them in these circumstances.... It means that their ability to contribute, their ability to lead their families, their ability to be an actor and an agent for changes in making a difference for themselves and their children and their future is completely constrained.
Last year in L'Aquila, I heard the Prime Minister's summation. He was very eloquent and compelling in talking about Canada's commitment to break the tradition of G-8s, where they make promises and don't follow through on them. He said that the things we've signed on to this year in L'Aquila we're going to follow through on. It's really important that we see that to its conclusion.
