Mr. Speaker, two days from now, Canada will be hosting a summit on maternal, newborn, and child health in Toronto. This summit will provide civil society, the private sector, and global and Canadian leaders in health the opportunity to galvanize consensus on where to focus efforts to maximize results for those in need.
I look forward to attending this summit, along with the Right Hon. Prime Minister, the hon. Minister of International Development, and high-profile guests, such as His Highness the Aga Khan, Melinda Gates, Ban Ki-moon, the President of Tanzania, and many others, who will discuss how to save the lives of more mothers, children, and newborns.
This summit will see Canada continuing in our leadership role, addressing the health challenges faced by women, children, and newborns in developing countries.
Canadians can be very proud of our government's strong track record in saving the lives of women, children, and newborns all over the world.
