Statement made on 23 November 2011 by Senator Mobina Jaffer

Hon. Mobina S. B. Jaffer:

Honourable senators, my question is to the Leader of the Government in the Senate.

In June 2010, at the G8 summit, Prime Minister Harper stated:

Canada will champion a major initiative to improve the health of women and children in the world's most vulnerable regions. It is therefore time to mobilize our friends and partners to do something for those who can do little for themselves, to replace grand good intentions with substantive acts of human goodwill.

My question is: Exactly how much money has been dispensed by our government to these vulnerable regions, and which regions has it been dispensed to?
