The AIIB and the belt and road initiative are not linked initiatives. They are separate. The AIIB undertakes development projects in Asia-Pacific. Canada's participation in the AIIB is part of our engagement in the Asia-Pacific region. We work with the AIIB, and they adhere to multilateral standards with regard to the development projects they fund. I would note that the AIIB does not directly fund projects that are associated with the belt and road initiative.
