I could jump in first.
Thank you very much. It's a really interesting observation.
My last posting was as high commissioner to Nigeria. I saw the tremendous amount of oil production that they have there and the fact that there's very little value added. I think that speaks more generally to an area where Canada can work closely with African countries that have a multitude of natural resources—a wealth of it—but do not add value for their own use.
In Nigeria, for example, the richest man in Africa, Aliko Dangote, is building one of the biggest refineries in the world. I think it will be the biggest refinery, which could be a game changer.
There are so many unknowns around that, including governance. If you have countries that, for example, are weak in the rule of law and where corruption is heavy, this is fraud. It's very difficult.
The other observation I would make with regard to our production of oil and gas as a potential export is that we're seeing African countries leapfrog. That word was used previously.
About 90% of the grid in Kenya is from renewables, with geothermal, solar, etc. It'll be 100% in a few years. I think that, along with protecting our interests and the potential exports of Canadian resources, we have to think about supporting the green growth that is taking place on the African continent and encouraging that kind of development. There is a lot of Canadian involvement in those kinds of projects.
