As I mentioned, more than half the CIDA budget is identified for bilateral programs that, for the most part, are aimed at long-term sustainable development. But the CIDA budget also contains a significant percentage earmarked for emergency humanitarian assistance. Earthquakes happen sometimes. In 2008-2009, there was a earthquake in China, a cyclone in Burma; already this year, there have been a number of earthquakes and storms. So there are sometimes urgent, immediate, humanitarian needs at the same time as the long-term needs. Everything always has to be balanced, according to what is happening around the world.
