Perhaps I may add a few words on that. I'd like to talk about the issue of whether you recognize what the DFI does as official development assistance. Now, the rules on that are not finalized yet. Understandably, there can be a political imperative to try to announce or report as much ODA as you can so you get as close to the 0.7% target as you can, which is something that everyone wants to dom, but that can create problems.
In the U.K., they have chosen to report all the money they put into CDC as aid at the moment they put it in, 100% of the face value. That's an option open to you as well. What that means, though, in the U.K. is that every pound that goes into CDC at that moment in time is a pound that isn't going into the traditional aid budget of DFID, because we have this fixed 0.7% cap on how much we spend. That changes the attitude of the rest of the development community towards the development finance institution because they really see that money going into that place means money not going into some other place.
There's no need for things to be that way. I don't know the details of how the Canadian national accounts work and what the politically salient numbers are that people look at, but in the U.K., money into CDC is counted as non-fiscal expenditure. It doesn't add to the national debt because there's an asset that offsets the borrowing that you might have undertaken to fund it.
In principle, the amount of money that you choose to put into your DFI, there's no reason that has to have any effect on the amount of money you choose to put into any other of Canada's development activities. Just be careful, maybe, about implicitly creating that link by whatever decision you take about whether you score it as aid. There are arguments that it would be easier for you if you did not try to count everything you put into your DFI as aid, but I understand that's a given.
