Madam Speaker, I think I was very clear that we effectively saw cuts, in terms of aid as a share of GNI, from the time of the Harper government to the current government. Going forward, Conservatives have committed to maintaining our aid levels and also to taking steps, such as the reform of direction and control, that would remove red tape and effectively deliver far more in terms of dollars to the front lines. If we remove that unnecessary red tape through processes like direction and control, we can do so much more good around the world.
