I just want to pick up on what the ambassador just finished explaining to us. We have other issues on the table here, and I don't think it's helpful for the government to deny that there's a change in their policy that is affecting Africa. You can argue numbers all day long, but the direction is going out of Africa. The minister certainly was laying that out for us, and I believed her.
I want to ask this of Her Excellency from the Congo, because I just returned from there. She touched on something, and I asked the minister this. I was kind of concerned that we have this one-way view that we put money into Africa, so we should see all these results. We're also getting a lot out of Africa. She referenced mining and her concern about—and others might share it—the conduct of Canadian mining companies in the region, and the benefits for the people in the region. In other words, it's not just the aid picture, which is very important, but also the economic developments. It's how Canada can improve our operations in her country to benefit the people and of course to deal with the horrendous situation of sexual violence that is occurring.
Your Excellency, I would like your viewpoint on how Canada can improve its operations when it comes to mining and the resource-based industry in the Congo. If there's time, I open it up to any of the other ambassadors.
