Foreign Affairs committee  Certainly. I mentioned the coal transition initiative that we invested $1 billion into with the World Bank. We're also working with other members of the G7 on just energy transition partnerships, with countries like South Africa, Indonesia, to help them transition from coal burni

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you for the question. I'll respond and just distinguish between humanitarian assistance and development assistance. In the list of countries that you cited, we have very large investments, predominantly in humanitarian assistance. Ukraine is obviously much broader than t

Foreign Affairs committee  As I said, Mr. Chair, I'm not currently in a position to answer that question, because the law is not on the books—

Foreign Affairs committee  Because that is the moment at which an organization would have to make an application.

Foreign Affairs committee  Again, Mr. Chair, until the law is on the books.... If the law is on the books as it's currently amended, organizations will be able to come forward to make an application, and at that point, the government will be able to provide them with advice. Work is ongoing on that, but I'

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Chair, as you said at the outset of your question, this is really within the scope of Public Safety and Justice. They will be the ones operating the regime. However, it looks like, once the law is passed—

Foreign Affairs committee  That advice will be based on consultations with the—

Foreign Affairs committee  I will just say that if an organization comes to us when the bill is law, we would be working in consultation with Public Safety and Justice to provide advice to that organization. It's not solely the responsibility of Global Affairs.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. You're suggesting that if there's another entity listed in the Criminal Code and operating in a certain country where Canadian organizations have to make an application—

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes.

Foreign Affairs committee  I think until the law is in place, I'm not in a position to make that judgment. We have a very specific situation in Afghanistan with a listed entity that's become a barrier to humanitarian development organizations working there. In the context of humanitarian organizations, w

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. It's a pleasure to be here with you today to speak in front of the committee and to share the insights on the work being done to implement the Government of Canada's policy direction for advancing women's sexual and reproductive health and rights

Agriculture committee  Thanks for that. I would say there are a number of mechanisms and tools that bring countries together to discuss that. One is a legacy from the 2008-09 crisis that was started by the G20, called the GAFSP, which is a global assistance facility. That has been active. Both the Am

Agriculture committee  Thank you for that. As you can imagine, it's a very delicate negotiation that the UN, the Turks, and then at some point, Russia and Ukraine will need to engage in, if they haven't already, on that. We're watching it very closely, mostly through a G7 working group that I sit on,

Agriculture committee  Thank you for that. I would say that the food crisis is happening now, and it could get much worse as time goes on, particularly if we do not see action on Ukrainian exports but also on Russian exports, which they are restricting. What's the strategy in place for Canada and I t
