Mr. Speaker, it is very easy to jump to conclusions. The reality is that getting food into Afghanistan is still not safe.
In addition to money, CIDA is also providing logistical assistance to the world food program. We provided vitamins and immunization to 4.5 million children in Afghanistan even while the bombing was going on, and to 27 million children in Pakistan which will also assist with the nutritional problems. We are working on many different fronts.
The reality is that we need to get into Afghanistan much more quickly and much more aggressively.
