Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses.
I'm going to begin with Global Affairs. The direction that I'm going in follows in line with the questions from Ms. Fry and Mr. Bergeron.
In response to my colleague, Ms. Urban, you stated that Canada has a good history of engagement with Africa, yet the Centre for International Policy Studies has described Canada as having “no profile in Africa” despite this government's efforts over the last nine years. It says that “the government's policy in Africa...[is] a repackaging and re-energising”. Another academic has characterized it as a series of consistent inconsistencies. Would you agree with those statements?
