When we're looking at development aid, what works best isn't providing just straightforward grants but actually providing the financing to build those infrastructures to create the private sector. A lot of those institutions and businesses in Ghana can't borrow five- or ten-year money, so whether it's the World Bank or a Canadian development finance institution that comes along and gives them that ten-year money so that they can build a business, then you get that private sector growth. That is what creates the sustainable long-term growth. That's why we're very supportive of a development finance institute.
