Colleagues, we'll now begin our discussions, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), on Canada's development finance initiative.
Before us this morning is Diana Noble, executive officer, CDC Investment Works. From the Overseas Development Institute, we have Simon Maxwell, senior research associate; and Paddy Carter, senior research fellow.
Welcome to our witnesses from the U.K.
As is customary, the committee will give witnesses an opportunity to make a short presentation and then we'll get right into Qs and As.
I want to turn it over to Diana Noble. Diana, do you want to start your presentation?
