Mr. Speaker, my question is about the GPE.
The Minister for International Development has said that Canada's job is to ensure that children are able to keep learning and that no child should be left behind as a result of the ongoing crisis in Iraq. However, the pledging conference for the Global Partnership for Education took place over eight months ago and Canada has yet to make a pledge.
Are the Conservatives waiting for an opportunity for a self-serving big press conference rather than helping these kids now?
