Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you. We fully agree. That is why we take a comprehensive and integrated approach. Just to be very clear, it starts with comprehensive sexuality education so that adolescents have access to clear and evidence-based information about the services they can access. Of course

Foreign Affairs committee  That's my understanding.

Joshua Tabah

Foreign Affairs committee  The report, I believe, will primarily concern itself with Canada's domestic implementation, but there will be an opportunity to flag where there has also been international engagement on these issues. It might not be the main story, but we do hope it will be there. I've seen some

Joshua Tabah

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you. That's understood. We'll take note. The annual report that I made reference to before should lay out relatively clearly the numbers for 2021, and we think the next iteration of that report will be ready in the fall. But some time between March and the fall, we'd be ha

Foreign Affairs committee  We did have a closing evaluation of the Muskoka investments that we made; it's on our website. We'd be happy to share that report with the committee. It's a fantastic foundational document from which to learn more about these issues.

Foreign Affairs committee  We'd be very happy to share that list of countries. I'll note that we are now producing, on an annual basis, a report on our 10-year commitment that includes a very careful look at all the allocations from both the SRHR and global health pillars of the 10-year commitment. It also

Joshua Tabah

Foreign Affairs committee  I'm not in a position to comment on specific items, but I think that the Prime Minister and other ministers were outspoken the day after and the day of the decision for Roe v. Wade. The Prime Minister tweeted out his disappointment with the decision. I would characterize that as

February 16th, 2023Committee meeting

Joshua Tabah

Foreign Affairs committee  I'm sorry if our communication on this hasn't been clear enough, but again, I do think the website is quite specific in noting that the commitment to reach $700 million is in fiscal year 2023-24, and that we are scaling up from 2019-20 to 2021. There has been an annual increase i

Joshua Tabah

Foreign Affairs committee  I'm sorry if I misspoke, but the $489 million was for fiscal year 2020-21. I don't yet have a figure for 2021-22. We will close our books only in March of this year, so at that point I'll be able to provide you with a figure for 2021-22, and then next year for 2022-23—

Joshua Tabah

Foreign Affairs committee  I would just say informally that we are on track to hit that $700 million in spending in 2023-24, and then again, there will be a lag of about a year and a half before we can formally confirm that this is what we have spent.

February 16th, 2023Committee meeting

Joshua Tabah

Foreign Affairs committee  I can provide that level of detail, again, for fiscal year 2020-21, which I know seems like the ancient past right now, but unfortunately that's how long it takes us to close the books. For that year, roughly half of the investments we made were through international organizatio

Foreign Affairs committee  Then, about 5% was spent through partner governments directly, and then there are a variety of other kinds of organizations that fit in there. Essentially, a very significant amount went through the global health institutions, which include the Global Fund, Gavi for immunizations

Foreign Affairs committee  Let me share that I have a great deal of respect for the CFGB as well, and I think that we all miss Jim Cornelius these days. What a great leader he was. We have an extensive field footprint in the countries we work with and serve, so all the initiatives we work on bring togethe

Joshua Tabah

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Chair, first I'd like to thank the member for her recognition of some new programming from Global Affairs. I'll make sure that we pass that on to our colleagues responsible for that program. In terms of SRHR, the commitment by the Prime Minister in 2019 was to scale up our s

Joshua Tabah

Foreign Affairs committee  I do. Our formal financial reporting for 2021 is that we disbursed $489 million to SRHR. Again, that was a very significant increase above—
