Mr. Speaker, this government, since its 2006 election, has met its commitments to the international world. We have retained our commitment to doubling our international assistance. We have met our commitment to doubling our aid to Africa. We have not only met but surpassed our commitment for food aid and food assistance.
We have a record on which we will stand, unlike the previous government, which had 13 years to fulfill commitments to those in poverty.
