It's the latter point that critics have pointed to and talked about in terms of aid being linked to Canadian policy priorities. I have some examples.
Colombia and Peru were added in 2009. Mongolia, Myanmar, and the Congo were added in 2014. The argument is that the decision to look at those states and to make them part of our policy was done entirely as a result of a decision of the government in power at the time to align aid with particular strategic priorities and economic priorities.
The result was what? The result was that states like Cameroon, Malawi, and Niger were dropped off the list to make room for those particular states.
I'm trying to follow this out and tease out exactly which criteria are given privilege. That's the substance of the question.
