Foreign Affairs committee  That's to cover a three-year period.

Foreign Affairs committee  I know I'm running out of time. I'll be quick. For a specific ask, vis-à-vis some of the questions my colleagues have asked, it seems to me that Canada is doing its fair share at seventh place, but it would be good if we added 15%. Would that be a fair thing you'd be asking for?

Foreign Affairs committee  I am curious. You touched on this a few times, how there must be a stabilization effect, or the fund.... When you come in and you start helping people on these medical things, how does it impact the political situation? It's sort of a lead-on from what Borys said. How is the interaction, and have you had great wins there?

Foreign Affairs committee  We take that approach because we think of Somalia—even as we're talking about it—as a country, but it's not actually a country in a real sense. We try to deal with it as a country, but it's really just a group of people in Mogadishu. The money goes in there, and there's too much money for them to even effectively use it, so it gets stolen, and people show up....

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you. I'd like to follow up a bit on some of the questions my colleague Anita was asking. It seems that you both said that a top-down federalist approach didn't work because, from a political perspective, the Somali national government isn't very good at doing things and the national army wasn't very good.

Foreign Affairs committee  Do you have something to add there, Jay?

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you.

Foreign Affairs committee  The problem is that a problem's not a problem until it's a problem for you, and it's not a problem yet for us down here, but you see it being a problem up there. Let me ask you another question. Regarding the Inuit, you said the Russians are exploiting.... We use that term. We “exploit” minerals but we also exploit people.

Foreign Affairs committee  What you're saying is that the average Inuit and the average Inuit leadership would be open for themselves to develop it in a certain way.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Professor Barber, you talked about those 40 years that you were in the Arctic. You said that for the first 10 years you were kind of skeptical about climate change. Then you said that in the next 10 years you started to see some distinct signals. Then you said that in the following 10 years it got very dramatic and that in these last 10 years it's actually accelerating.

Foreign Affairs committee  I understand that. Given your perspective as a scientist, you were someone who was maybe leaning on one side and not sure about climate change, and now you've seen the dramatic effects and you're saying that it's even accelerating. If we come further south, people are just starting to see the effects in the southern climates, such as the forest fires, the floods, the tornadoes where they shouldn't be—just the beginning of it.

Foreign Affairs committee  Are we doing enough there?

Foreign Affairs committee  It sends a message that, sooner or later, you're going to be dealt with. If someone thinks, for example, you can rape a young girl and then it's just a payment, quite frankly it becomes a form of prostitution, whether she likes it or not. If there's some kind of accountability there, that, no, you're not going to get away with this, that would add to changing future behaviour as opposed to just letting it happen.

Foreign Affairs committee  On the travel ban idea, if the sum total of other nations would say, whether you were paid off or not, as far as we're concerned if you come to our country we're dealing with you—

Foreign Affairs committee  Does that exist?
