Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
I am also pleased to present, on behalf of the Grandmothers for Africa, a petition from residents right across the country, including my own riding of Victoria.
The grandmothers are asking that, in this global economic downturn, Canadians do not forget the world's poorest and most vulnerable. They are asking the government to immediately set a timetable for our 40 year promise to contribute 0.7% of our GDP.
They are also asking Canada to make legislative changes so that there is a sustainable flow of generic drugs to Africa.
