Foreign Affairs committee  That's an indication of what we would contribute through our contributions to Commonwealth organizations.

Foreign Affairs committee  These are all the programs through which we contribute directly to the Commonwealth.

Foreign Affairs committee  Canada works with a lot of multilateral organizations, on both the foreign policy and international development side. There are a number of steps that we take to ensure that the funding we provide is managed effectively and achieves value for money. If you go on the development side, for example, and you look at specific institutions, Canada often sits on the board of governors of those institutions to help set the strategic direction, to be part of the oversight mechanisms of those organizations, and to examine the audit and inspection functions to make sure that funds are safeguarded.

Foreign Affairs committee  For multilateral assistance...? I can look at what we had in 2015-16. That breakdown of multilateral funding is relatively stable year over year. I think it is important to be mindful that a lot of the humanitarian interventions that we do are through multilateral organizations, because they are our trusted partners.

Foreign Affairs committee  Do you mind repeating those numbers, as I look for my RPP?

Foreign Affairs committee  Our overall official development assistance from Canada to China is about $1.35 million and for India it's $4.97 million. A lot of that work is done through NGOs such as World Vision or others. Certain health projects are run by multilateral organizations, such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, which will spend a portion of what we as a country give them in those areas.

Foreign Affairs committee  We have to remember they're universal, so there's going to be a domestic side to this as well. I guess I'm just trying to clarify that it's not sort of separate. I think anything we do at the end of the day is going to be in support of sustainable development. With regard to the review that's being conducted right now, if you look at the mandate letter that's been provided to Minister Bibeau, it's about going away and conducting the review and consulting Canadians, and as we do that, it's in support of sustainable development goals.

Foreign Affairs committee  There it is, right there.

Foreign Affairs committee  Directly, we have no bilateral programs with either China or India, so we don't do anything—

Foreign Affairs committee  I do have that. It's in one of these binders somewhere. I'm sorry....

Foreign Affairs committee  It's all right. I have it right here. The answer to that is in the statistical report. As Madam Bibeau said in her remarks, we have official development assistance. So there's a portion of our assistance that either would go through NGOs, or some of the money that we get to multilateral organizations gets accounted for against countries.

Foreign Affairs committee  Grants and contributions are governed by the transfer payment policy established by the Treasury Board. The decision to award a grant or a contribution is, first, based on the activity that is being undertaken and on the risk assessment and fiduciary analysis we do for each recipient.

Foreign Affairs committee  Any new initiative that comes along during the fiscal year will be reflected in supplementary estimates. There are three sets of supplementary estimates: (A), (B), and (C). (A) is usually in late spring, (B) is in early winter, and (C) is toward the end of the fiscal year. At one of those intervals, any of the new funding for international development that was talked about in the budget will be reflected in one of the supplementary estimates.

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes.

Foreign Affairs committee  The Paris project is under way. Considerable design work was done last year. We are using an innovative public-private partnership approach to deliver that project, and the design work is well under way. We've secured approvals from the city on that. To this point it looks as though that will be completed on time and will be successful.
