Madam Chair, this is a very important debate, and I am glad to see people in the House contributing to it. One of the big issues I have is that, in foreign affairs and international development, Canada has not contributed its fair share of food security funding for a long time. Right now, we are set at $250 million a year. That is about where we have been through past Conservative and Liberal governments. One of the things the sector is asking for is that food aid be indexed to the price of food so that when it goes up, our contribution goes up. I am wondering if the member believes that indexing our commitments for food security would be appropriate.
