Foreign Affairs committee To simplify, you know that if you're going to give money here in Canada, they have these measures to ask. Is this a charity where 90% of its money is going through the system, or is only 50% making its way to the beneficiary? There are certain criteria that I would use when I'm a

Foreign Affairs committee A comparable number. It had 50% effectiveness here, 77% there.

Foreign Affairs committee Thank you, Chair. I'd like to ask a question about foreign aid. I'd like to understand how we do a breakdown by geography of our foreign aid. Where are the pockets in that?

Frank BaylisLiberal
Foreign Affairs committee I'm trying to get my finger on the idea of how we are measuring that impact. I can see what you're saying within the silos. For example, Afghanistan has asked for this, Ethiopia has asked for that and Haiti has asked for a third thing. One asks for health, education, I don't know

Foreign Affairs committee In your negotiations, something that I thought was quite prescient that you picked up on is now becoming a threat to the rest of the world. A couple of weeks ago, the American president laid the groundwork for another executive order, another section 232 national security threat
