I have one last question.

Last May, Ambassador Bonkoungou, you appeared before the Committee to express concerns with respect to Burkina Faso's removal from CIDA's priority list. You also expressed the fear that Canada's embassy in Burkina Faso could be shut down. We know that embassies in several African countries have been closed and that others certainly will as well. We are expecting further closures. What would be the impact of a decision to close the Canadian embassy in Burkina Faso?
