Mr. Speaker, oh, I wish that was all true. I thank the hon. parliamentary secretary for saying we are committed, but if we are committed, why have we cut when the Liberal budget promised it would not be cut? This is at a time when the world is screaming out that there are increased humanitarian pressures. There are humanitarian pressures in Gaza, in Darfur, in Ukraine and all around the world, and if anyone looks to Canada for help, we have cut development assistance by $2.7 billion this year.
We cannot talk out of both sides of our mouth forever. It catches up with us. We must do more. Canadians care about the poorest of the poor. We know that in the climate crisis, there will be more environmental refugees, more people turning up on our shores, looking for help and looking for assistance. The U.S. has turned insular, turned more selfish than ever. Canada needs to look outward. We need to be more generous than ever.
