Mr. Chair, I am glad the minister clarified what we heard because Canadians were wondering whose money it was that was being pledged. We heard the number $40 million. We know there were $15 million, but a lot of that was pledged money.
I will give a rundown of the $20 million to date: UN World Food Programme, $4 million; UNICEF, $3 million; Red Cross $2 million; International Organization for Migration, $2 million; World Vision Canada, $2 million; Oxfam, $1.5 million; Plan Canada, $1.5 million; Doctors Without Borders, $1 million; CARE Canada, $1 million; Save the Children, $1 million; World Health Organization, $800,000; and the UN Office for Humanitarian Affairs, $200,000.
This is the lay out of the money, but what is important to note is the lion share of the money has been coming from Canadians. I would like the government to break that open when it announces that, just to be transparent.
Finally, while we are on the issue of money, the government should also acknowledge that this fiscal year there is a lot of money that has lapsed. If the need is there, not just for the Philippines, I hope the Conservatives are ready to acknowledge that there is money they can pledge, if needed, out of the pot of money that has lapsed for this fiscal year, as we saw in the public accounts, for Syria as well.
