Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the member for his important work in development. This is a great opportunity for me to highlight International Development Week and our feminist international assistance policy. Through our feminist international assistance policy, we fund programs that address food security while giving women and girls equal access to education and resources. I will give members an example of this. A study found that if women farmers had the same access to resources as men, there would be an over 40% reduction of people living in hunger. We will continue to fund programs that have a direct impact on reducing hunger around the world and that increase women and girls' participation in decision-making.
