I think there are a number of instances of conversations or debates that Canada has had at the board table of the AIIB, through which we have been successful in building coalitions around that table and moving the institution in ways that are not aligned with what China might have wanted, notwithstanding the fact that they are the largest shareholder.
I think about the policy, for example, a couple of years ago, when the AIIB announced that it would not invest in coal projects or related coal infrastructure as part of a climate policy. That happened because Canada had been at the table and had pushed on that important issue.
The AIIB's treatment of Russia, in the context of Russia's aggression towards Ukraine, is another example that has occurred only as a result of Canada's leadership there. For example, in 2022 the annual meetings were supposed to happen in Russia, in Moscow, and we were able to build a coalition around the institution to make sure that did not happen. The activities of the institution in respect of Russia are also on hold indefinitely.
Those are things that happen because we are at the table, because we're having conversations, difficult conversations. No, we don't win every conversation we have—that's the nature of working in a multilateral setting—but we do have those conversations, and that's an important first step.
