Mr. Speaker, I thank the hon. member for her question. As hon. members know very well—and the Prime Minister has always stressed the importance of bolstering the credibility of the United Nations—we are cooperating with all donor countries around the world to provide assistance that will be effective, through United Nations organizations, and the World Food Program in particular, and the International Committee of the Red Cross. A lot of emphasis is put on the importance of organizations under the UN, which have a great deal of expertise in this area.
