Merci beaucoup. I will share my time with my colleague, Borys.
Thank you very much, Mr. Greenhill and Ms. Heuchan.
In January, the committee received a documentary note on the Bureau for Democratic Governance from CIDA. Those documentary notes from CIDA state that this new office will have the special mandate of improving aid effectiveness.
On December 4, Ms. Diane Éthier of the University of Montreal appeared before this committee and stated that CIDA was not really evaluating effectiveness.
My first question is very simple. Will responsibility for evaluating the effectiveness of CIDA's democratic governance programs be assigned to the Office for Democratic Governance?
As for my second question, this morning I note in the documents that you have provided to us, the very impressive list of your democratic governance partners.
Where does the process for awarding contracts for the democratic development deployment mechanism stand?
I will ask my colleague to ask his question. This way, we're going to get all the answers in one shot. He's going to ask the question first.
