I assume the member states will continue that program. When it comes time to report, and it's 100% ODA-able, the minister in question would have to explain to the committee that this is how international organizations work. They determine their overall goals and whether the majority of members want to carry on that program. It doesn't directly contribute to a poverty alleviation focus. </p>",

Quand viendra le temps de faire rapport sur ces dons enti\u00e8rement admissibles en tant qu'APD, le ministre comp\u00e9tent devra expliquer au Comit\u00e9 que c'est ainsi que fonctionnent les organisations internationales. Elles fixent leurs objectifs g\u00e9n\u00e9raux et d\u00e9terminent si la majorit\u00e9 de leurs membres veulent ex\u00e9cuter le programme.
