Finance committee  It's true.

Finance committee  I just want to add that it is not about condemnation; it is about wanting to work with the government to try to get back on the right course. I hope I've made a compelling argument about the reasons why. Maybe I'll just make one point—because we're in Windsor and this is my home

Finance committee  Thank you. It's my privilege to be here today and to be among what is a very diverse set of witnesses. Results Canada is a national grassroots advocacy organization that is committed to creating the political will to end extreme poverty globally. Extreme poverty is a place where

Foreign Affairs committee  As I said, Results Canada developed this brief with five leading development organizations in Canada. To repeat, they are Save the Children, UNICEF, CARE, World Vision, and Plan Canada. They are in the field and doing this incredible work day in and day out. In terms of develop

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you for that question, because I think it speaks to the notion of the need for new money in terms of addressing this. We can't forget that HIV is the leading killer on the planet, and we can't start shifting priorities to the point where millions are left stranded. I think

Foreign Affairs committee  We have no government funding. It's all grassroots network fundraising and a few private foundation grants.

Foreign Affairs committee  I'll just start by saying that I think all of us would agree it's an extremely unfortunate decision to flatline aid, particularly at this time—or any time, frankly—because what happens over there matters over here. You know that H1N1 didn't start in Kanata; it started in a real v

Foreign Affairs committee  That's what I suspect and that's what I think has been rumoured. I don't know if my colleagues have any other information, but I don't have any information about extraneous funding from outside the aid envelope.

Foreign Affairs committee  I can start. It's an excellent question, because the way we deliver this or where the money flows is absolutely crucial to the impact we're going to get out at the other end. I've heard the same sorts of comments that you've heard, Mr. Pearson. I'm going to use the example of E

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you. Results Canada is a national grassroots advocacy organization, and we're committed to creating the political will to end poverty and needless suffering. We champion cost-effective, proven, tangible, and impactful solutions that will benefit the world's poorest, and we

Status of Women committee  I absolutely agree with what Cicely just said. The broader G8 initiative--and beyond, because it's not all going to get solved in June--is comprehensive continuum of care. Our brief just focused on where Canada's specific contribution could be.

Status of Women committee  I think they're attainable if we want them to be attainable, and I hope that we do, because as my colleague said so eloquently in her presentation, this is a huge global tragedy that exists that 1.4 billion people live on less than $1 a day. For them, a luxury is a shack in a sha

Status of Women committee  I would just add that in study after study, when infant or child mortality rates go down, fertility rates go down as well. I just want to make that connection.

Status of Women committee  Yes.

Status of Women committee  I don't disagree with you, in the sense that all women should have access to health. What we were asked to present on was where we thought the value-added was and where we thought we could have tremendous impact in terms of the vast majority of women and children who are dying. W
