Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to our guest for his very important presentation.
I think the numbers you mentioned are pretty staggering, and this is an important area in which there is still a lot of work to be done. The various initiatives taken over the years have been helpful, I believe. Many have received praise for the positive results they have achieved throughout communities in developing countries. I've visited many of them over the years.
Thank you for that presentation, and thank you for the various initiatives that you've spoken about quite eloquently.
This is my first question. I know you've mentioned this in passing in your presentation, but should the private sector be playing a bigger role in international development efforts?
