There was a declaration that came out, and basically the message from Ottawa was that life and death are political questions. Those were the main words that came out of there, and the parliamentarians agreed they would work to provide, slowly, 10% of their national budgets for ODA because we were looking at developing countries as well for population and reproductive health.
La déclaration d'Ottawa a permis de souligner essentiellement que la vie et la mort sont des questions politiques; les parlementaires ont convenu de s'efforcer d'affecter, progressivement, 10 p. 100 de leurs budgets nationaux à l'APD—puisque nous nous occupons également des pays en développement—pour la population et la santé génésique.
