The NDP will be opposing this set of amendments from clauses 83 to 86.
In theory we think that DFIs have some potential, but we're concerned that the track records across the world haven't been very good. We think Canada could develop a best case example of these DFIs but we have little faith the government, which has made such serious cuts to development funding and has tarnished our reputation internationally, would proceed, so we're simply not prepared to support this.
We do have two amendments, as you know, Chair.
