Thank you. We welcome you and your team. We're all thrilled that you're here today.
Early last year Canada's CIDA program announced that it would no longer keep Burkina Faso as one of its partner countries. At that time a number of ambassadors came here before our committee, including your own ambassador, who was a spokesperson for the group. They said that might be a debilitating thing for Burkina Faso, and they also worried what it meant about the friendship.
How have things been since those cuts were announced? Have you been able to make any other plans to make up for that shortfall as a result of Canada not giving you those funds any more?
