Thank you.
A very important question was asked about the numbers. I have to comment, because this is very important to us.
When we take a look at an issue such as this and do research, we rely on sources. While I do not have a very good understanding of English, I know that French sources say that, by reducing the number of countries on the list from 25 to 20 by 2010, bilateral aid will drop from 70% to 35%.
I don't know. I have asked others to have the material translated. The honourable member said the door is open, and I have noted that. He can be sure of one thing: I will keep going to see him until he chases me away, because development in Africa is very important to me and to my colleagues. That is our purpose in being here in Canada. I will go and see him often at his office. I want to thank him for his availability, but that is what the numbers mean.
