Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Greg Wiens. Greg is well known in my riding as a pastor at Westwood Community Church, but today I would like to recognize his work as the outreach coordinator at Global Vision 2020. Globally, billions of people live with vision loss and almost every single person on earth will need eye care services during their lifetime. That is where Greg and Global Vision 2020 come in. They provide thousands of prescription eyeglasses to people who normally do not have access to vision care in developing countries. They do this with the USee Vision Kit, which identifies their prescription in under five minutes. When I met Greg a few weeks ago, he made the glasses I am wearing right now so quickly I could not believe my eyes. Global Vision 2020 has clinics in developing countries all over the world. With 125,000 glasses to be deployed this year alone, this technology has the potential to provide clear vision to millions. I thank Greg for bringing the gift of clear vision to so many.

Madam Chair, that is why I am telling the minister of this, because the Canadian government is doing that. I urge her to read the NGO Monitor report from November. I can send her a copy if she has not seen it already, but that is what is happening. In October of this year, the Israeli government declared the UAWC to be a terrorist organization due to its links to the PFLP. Given that Israel is our strong ally, what steps is Global Affairs taking to finally stop funding this terrorist organization?

Madam Chair, of course we all know that, but strangely, a whole year earlier, back in October 2020, Global Affairs actually issued a statement saying it was not funding the UAWC directly or indirectly, and that it had concerns about the terrorist connections of the UAWC. I am speaking of the UAWC, not the PFLP. I know there are a lot of acronyms here. However, they had concerns about the terrorist connections of the UAWC, yet in October 2021 an ATIP request was received by NGO Monitor. That ATIP request confirms that the UAWC is in fact listed as an implementing partner and is currently receiving Global Affairs funding. Again I ask why Canadian tax dollars are funding the UAWC a year after GAC expressed how concerned it was about its terrorist connections.

Madam Chair, a November 2021 NGO Monitor report shows that the Union of Agricultural Work Committees, an organization affiliated with the terrorist organization, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, also known as the PFLP, has been receiving Canadian tax dollars from Global Affairs as an implementing partner under an existing UN food and agriculture project that ends in 2022. Why is the government of Canada funding the UAWC, a terrorist-affiliated organization?
