I think this is one of the most important people-to-people ties and cultural ties we have with the continent. I mentioned that we are a member of la Francophonie, but we also have very important relationships.... Part of that is because of our linguistic connections.
I will use an example. I mentioned that I was in Côte d'Ivoire. In Côte d'Ivoire, our ambassador is very active working with the Government of Quebec. The Government of Quebec has a lot of cultural as well as commercial groups that go and visit Côte d'Ivoire and that are interested in doing business. Our ambassador spends time helping those companies and individuals from the province, as well as working with the government to provide briefings and information. This is just one example.
There are very concrete ways in which we can leverage our linguistic ties in order to build stronger relationships.
I will turn to my colleague.
