Mr. Speaker, in 2005 Canada's Liberal prime minister went to a G-8 meeting and promised to double Canada's aid to Africa. The 2005 Liberal budget actually doubled Canada's aid to Africa by spending $2.8 billion in 2009. That is on page 213.
However, the Conservative government has reduced that amount and is trying to tell the world that none of this ever happened. It is an absolute fabrication.
Will the minister admit that she is either unable or unwilling to protect all the money the Liberals committed to the world's poorest people in Africa?
