First of all, you mentioned that there seems to be extractive investment and the lack of the kinds of conditions that I described. There seems to be a coincidence or they seem to happen in the same places. I would say that's an accurate observation, and it's not an accident; it's by design. That's what I was trying to explain about Peru. The programs that were imposed on Peru, that decimated public institutions and public policy, happened in many developing countries—and most developing countries—that are rich in mineral, oil, or gas resources. So that happened by design.
I wouldn't minimize the role of the multilateral development banks and multilateral institutions as creators of this problem but also as potential agents to solve this problem. Canada has a very important role in those institutions. Not all countries are privileged to have positions on the boards of directors of both the IMF and the World Bank and all of the regional development banks. Those organizations of course are still very important in influencing policy development in these areas. I would say Canada has an important role within those institutions to help developing countries that would like to create more robust policies and institutions to do so.
With regard to CIDA, I think CIDA has done some very good work in these areas in promoting institutional strengthening in areas like an independent judiciary and so on. But I fear CIDA is moving away from that kind of programming and it's redirecting funds to things like corporate social responsibility programming. So I think there's probably capacity in CIDA and experience to draw on regarding the kinds of initiatives or areas that I would prioritize.
