Mr. Speaker, as I explained earlier, we spent in total $240 million more than was planned because of unprecedented crises in Philippines, Syria, South Sudan, and the Central African Republic, which all happened at the same time. In these kinds of cases, instead of looking at one planned expenditure in a column of the budget like the opposition does, we just go on a pragmatic and effective basis to help the people most in need.
Under this government, Canada now finally pays what it pledges and fulfills all of its international commitments.
