Mr. Speaker, people in my riding are concerned with the health of newborns and their mothers around the world, especially in developing countries.
Since 2010 with the signing of the Muskoka initiative, Canada has been instrumental in helping drive global efforts to help mothers and children, pledging $2.85 billion to an initiative that will save the lives of 1.3 million children and 64,000 mothers.
Can the parliamentary secretary please update the House on the announcement that was made yesterday furthering our country's support for women and children?
