Thank you, Mr. Chair.
In the main estimates, you plan to spend over $1 billion to support Canada's presence abroad. To that end, I note that we plan to establish a permanent mission to the African Union in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and to turn the office in Kigali, Rwanda, into a high commission.
I had the opportunity to ask the same question of the Minister of International Development. I know the committee needs to be briefed on this, but perhaps you know more about the proposed African strategy, which Parliamentary Secretary Rob Oliphant was looking to table in cabinet before December 2022.
Where are we on this? Perhaps, in passing, you can tell us about the peace missions?
