Mr. Speaker, the unjust war in Ukraine is having a tremendous impact on countries all around the world. This war has led to a global food shortage. The conflict, combined with the effects of climate change and the pandemic, is threatening to push tens of millions of people into food insecurity, hunger and famine, especially in Africa. Could the hon. Prime Minister tell the House what Canada is doing to help the people facing this kind of crisis?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for Dorval—Lachine—LaSalle for her question and for her hard work. Russia's aggression has had significant and immediate consequences on global food security and nutrition for the most vulnerable people in the world. This is why we have announced that Canada would contribute $100 million to the African Development Bank to support the growth of small and medium-sized agri-food enterprises. This funding will help increase food security across the continent while supporting inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
