Mr. Speaker, I am proud that the international community is supporting our G8 initiative to save the lives of women and children. In fact, Hillary Clinton recently said:
We commend the Canadian government for focusing attention on this issue by offering a flagship initiative on maternal and child health at the upcoming G8 meeting.
Melinda Gates also praised us by saying:
Canada is proposing a bold but achievable plan that can save countless lives, and I hope all G8 members will lend their strong support.
The international community is supporting us. I wish the opposition would.
