Mr. Speaker, it is obvious that our aid spending has done nothing but increase over the past two years. The Prime Minister has already said so. It has increased since the conference in Monterrey and will double over the next five years.
This Prime Minister has promised the House and the people of Canada that this government will be more active on the international scene. This will include adopting a smart approach and targeting aid to those countries that need Canada's help. We are there for them and we will do even more for them in the future.
