I was going to say that.

There are some really exciting new tools that are available to governments to work government to government and to work with the private sector. We have a new development financing institute, FinDev, which has some really interesting tools in its tool belt to work with the African private sector, along with the Canadian private sector, to advance economic growth on the African continent.

Within Global Affairs as well, we have developed some interesting tools in innovative finance and blended finance that try to attract private finance with some support through our development assistance.
