Foreign Affairs committee  For the ICRC, our budget for operations in the region.... I can refer you in more detail to our emergency appeals and also more conveniently it's in electronic format. I have to say that here in Canada we are very grateful, and that's not just platitudes from what I said at the beginning.

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Chair, I want to start by thanking the committee for inviting the International Committee of the Red Cross, or ICRC, to appear. I'm Robert Young, the ICRC's representative in Ottawa, part of our regional delegation for Canada and the U.S. My remarks today will focus on the serious humanitarian situation in Mali in relation to the armed conflict and the ICRC's operational response as part of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
