Thank you, Madam Minister.
I'd like to thank you for coming before the committee. As the chair noted, you're not a stranger to this committee. You're regularly available to us.
I think it's been interesting to hear this dialogue from the Bloc, and certainly it's driven, I think, by some lack of understanding of what the focused approach is. We all know that Canada had become quite overextended and spread too thin in many areas.
If I understand correctly, I think we were involved in 69 countries and we're now down to 20 countries with our bilateral aid. Of course, as you pointed out, the bilateral aid is only a small portion of the $4.3 billion total aid package. Focusing, I think, is important. You have made some changes, and you're continuing to make changes to make our aid more effective.
I wonder if you could share some more examples of problems that existed at CIDA. How are you working to overcome those problems?
