We have been putting $110 million a year into Mali for the last three years as a country of focus, and that money has gone in great part to help build governance. We firmly believe...and we just did a study in this committee, and heard from many of the intervenors, that until we see institution building going on in these countries, the private sector is not going to have the opportunity to grow.
We've put $110 million a year into Mali. That's over $300 million. So when we hear other countries coming to a forum, saying, “Yes, we're going to come with all this money”, they haven't been present there in the past. Canada has a history; Canada has a long history in Mali, and we want to ensure that the country is safe and secure for economic growth to happen.
