Mr. Chair, this government recognizes how important civil society is to development work, not only working with our Canadian partners but international partners. We also support civil society in developing countries because it, too, plays an important role in ensuring that progress is made in those countries.
On the question revolving around support for civil society, we continue to do that and we do it in a way to ensure that the support we are giving will show results and be effective.
A number of organizations know their work is very valued by us because it does make a difference in the lives of people in developing countries.
