Budget 2021
April 20, 2021
Hon. Marilou McPhedran
Last month the chief of the UN World Food Programme projected that more than 2 million Yemeni children under 5 face acute malnutrition right now, and it is estimated that a child dies every 10 minutes due to the blockade in Yemen. Does the budget released yesterday contain any provision to help the children?

Senator, I’m afraid I don’t have the answer that you requested. I have not foraged through the 700-plus pages of the document. I will certainly make inquiries and report back.
