Mr. Speaker, as I was saying in my speech, it is important to be able to know where the money is going and how it is actually helping women on the ground. Answers are needed to the questions raised by the Auditor General, who is calling on the government to be more accountable when it comes to feminist policy.
I would like to add something that I forgot to mention in my speech. According to co-operation organizations, it would be important to collaborate with local organizations to help empower local groups. It is these local organizations that are asking us to do so. I think that is something else we need to consider. We must also ensure that the money is spent and that cuts are not made to international co-operation budgets. The local organizations are worried about cuts, too. The Canadian government must pull its own weight. To that end, it must not divest from international co-operation, but maintain its commitment levels by spending the necessary money to rectify the situation.
