I think the answer to the first question is clearly a yes. There is also clearly a history of Canadian foreign aid, either directly, bilaterally, or in partnership with Canadian civil society organizations, building a range of capacities or working in partnership with civil society organizations internationally to build capacities, whether it's in advocacy, monitoring, or straight development administration. There's a track record there.
I guess the question is what's the most appropriate mechanism to do that through. It's not the only question, but it's an important question. It strikes me that some of that history of sustained partnerships between civil society groups, universities, or maybe even public organizations here and similar organizations internationally has a lot to offer to that process.
Personally, I'm not convinced that doing that through combining forces with CSR activities would be a way to go, not only because of the social sensitivities that my colleague has referred to, but because, on the one hand, there must always be the open question as to whether the combination of CIDA resources and company resources is adding value or simply displacing resources that companies might have spent otherwise. On the other hand, it can create an aura around capacity-building initiatives that might lead many critical organizations to distance themselves in that process.
That would be my answer to the first question, an absolutely resounding yes. There is significant experience to draw upon already in Canada through these partnership arrangements.
