To our witnesses, thank you very much, as I said, for being here today on short notice to discuss Mali.
I just want to read into the record a letter I've received from Minister Fantino. It says:
Dear Mr. Allison,
I'm writing in follow up to my appearance Tuesday, December 4, before the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
M.P. Paul Dewar raised a question regarding the number of projects I have approved since taking on the International Cooperation portfolio. As of January 23, 2013, I had approved 35 projects.
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to have your office contact Jennifer Cooper, Ministerial Services....
We will scan the letter and have it sent to all of the offices. That's just for the record.
Thank you once again, ladies and gentlemen. We really appreciate it.
With that, the meeting is adjourned.
