I would just like to point out that one of the most important parts of international aid is the creation of political stability in a country that's usually in a crisis. Do you really think that any private sector company would be able to create a political democracy or political stability in a country that's in crisis? Do you really think that a company, such as a hotel or a mining company, would be able to give that stability to people in a country that is in crisis, that is not a democracy and does not have a judicial system?
We Canadians give funds to our government for international aid to invest in a country to give it stability. Do you really think that would be achieved by the private sector companies that wish to make profits? That's my question.
