Thank you to our witnesses for appearing in front of us today. I have a couple of quick questions.

You, sir, were appointed to be Canada's special envoy for Africa. Prior to that, you were appointed to be Canada's permanent observer to the African Union.

Can you tell our committee how many locally engaged staff and how many permanent Canadian staff you have employed to support you in your work?

See context to find out what was said next.
