Thank you.
There are three general reasons why Canada and other members engage in multilateral development banks, including the AIIB.
The first is, as I have said and as was set out in the news release when Canada joined this institution, that it's out of a desire to help foster inclusive economic growth in that region—in that particular case, the Asian region—and this is consistent with the Indo-Pacific strategy and other foreign-policy priorities of the government.
The second key reason why Canada would engage in multilateral development banks, including this one, is to ensure that discussions that happen at those board tables take into account Canadian priorities and Canadian values. Those include issues of forced labour, as we've been talking about. They include issues of environmental protection. They include issues of gender equality, and I could name a couple of others.
The important issue is not that we are able to veto every project with which we don't agree but that we're able to make sure there are conversations about Canadian priorities and values in those projects as they're considered by the institution.
The third reason, of course, as we discussed, is for commercial opportunities that benefit Canadians as a result of our engagement in the institution.
