Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses today. Your testimony is very compelling, and alarming, frankly.
I want to start with you, Mr. Inyangudor.
We've heard the point made a number of times that Canada's development assistance budget has actually dropped by roughly 10% from the level it was under in previous governments, from about 0.3% of GNI to about 0.27% of GNI. I want to tie this in to your comments about the economic relationship between Canada and Africa, and particularly around how you would evaluate the effectiveness of Canada's record at targeting our development assistance to projects that are the most economically productive.
