Thank you, again, Chair.
Two words I don't like are “nexus” and “pivot”. I used “nexus” in my last question, and I'm going to use “pivot” in this question.
I want to get a bit more into the pivot you mentioned. There is something we're not communicating well enough, maybe to the opposition and maybe to Canadians, about the massive change this means. We're moving from a 20th-century model of charity and helping to a 21st-century model of mutual prosperity, mutual security and engagement as one-on-one, eye-to-eye, equal relationships, which is quite different for us. It doesn't necessarily mean fewer resources, but it does mean pivoting the resources to things that will create a mobile middle class, which will then become a venue for us to sell products to and provide opportunities for trade. I just want to poke a bit on that one first.
I'll give a heads-up on the second question. In the sixth pillar of the report, we talk about the engagement of African countries on the world stage and opening up multilateral fora for an appropriate proportional representation of African voices at the UN, at the UN organs and in multilateral fora. How are we going to do that?
The first one is a bit more on the pivot and the other one is a little more on the engagement of African countries in their rightful position on the world stage.
