Thank you, Mr. Bergeron.
As you mentioned, the pandemic has had a very significant impact on developing nations. I recall a discussion with a colleague from Africa. He told me that the vulnerable population there had reached the point of deciding whether they were going to starve to death or die from COVID-19. We have seen some extremely difficult situations.
With respect to development programs, Canada is currently working with its partners to ensure that our plans and objectives are being met despite the pandemic. That's why the $350 million will provide some overlap this year. This will ensure that the objectives of these projects are carried out.
Of course, we have been working internationally on the issue of debts and the interest payments on those debts. We kind of put things on hold so that the governments of developing nations could use the money intended for interest payments to address the health situation in their countries. Canada is currently making sure that the response to the pandemic is an effective one.
