Foreign Affairs committee  I'll give the floor to Major-General Prévost, since he has a better idea of what is happening.

Foreign Affairs committee  I'm not going to speculate on that, except to say that whatever we do, we do in concert with others. Obviously there are some institutions that have yet to be named, and there are some individuals who have yet to be named, but I'm not going to speculate publicly about what or wh

Foreign Affairs committee  I think the isolation of Russia is happening. We'll see in the next two days votes in the General Assembly, in which Russia does not have a veto. We'll see discussions taking place at the Human Rights Council, where Minister Joly is today in Geneva, which I think will similarly r

Foreign Affairs committee  Again, I haven't, Mr. Chong. That doesn't mean they haven't been taking place; it just means that New York is not the particular place where that's going on. I don't know whether one of my colleagues could answer that question. Sandra, I don't know whether you or Heidi could spe

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Chair, I discussed this question directly with the Minister of National Defence over the weekend. I have frequent conversations with her, as I do with Minister Joly and other ministers. The position of the government is that it's reviewing this question every day. As General

Foreign Affairs committee  I haven't personally, Mr. Chong. Those discussions would normally be happening with Ottawa, and not through us here in New York.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. We're meeting at a very solemn and difficult time. I want to stress to all of you that I'm available for your questions.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Vaccines globally are underfunded. That's a huge issue, and it's going to become a bigger issue as the vaccines become more widely produced. That's just a fact. It's going to become a much bigger issue. The second connected issue is that the social and economic costs of COVID ar

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Absolutely. I'll be waiting for it. [Proceedings continue in camera]

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Don't worry. I'll find a way to get it out there.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  We have to really appreciate the consequences of denying education to a whole generation of children. To me, the treatment of the Rohingya inside Rakhine State was terrible. There was serious discrimination in terms of access to education. In the camps, I thought there was an o

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Well, not to argue with you, but I think the reality in the camps, whether it's a camp in Rakhine State or whether it's the camp in Bangladesh, is that the absence of education is not because of the absence of funding. It's because the governments are not allowing those programs

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  You know how to work in Parliament as well as anybody. You'd have to do it. I think very clearly the big issue now, though, is what's going to happen after March 31. The money has been allocated. It's going to go out the door. The key thing now is to make sure that we are lookin

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  No, Heather, come on. Let's put partisanship aside for a second.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  We're spending more than we did last year. We've increased dramatically from last year. We have to keep on spending more. I'm just saying—
