Thank you, Ben Marc.
A lot of our international assistance as part of this new strategy will go, as I mentioned before, toward helping to create a better enabling environment for investment, including in the mining sectors and, by extension, in some areas where there are critical minerals of importance to Canada and our G7 partners, for example.
A lot of the time, what we hear from Canadian companies and other international companies and African companies that are investing in the mining sector is the need for clear standards, clear business practices and reduced corruption. The types of projects that would use international assistance would target those segments of the governance around mining and critical minerals to help improve private sector entry, including with our mining companies, into those areas to help them work with the local and national governments to get resources out of the ground and then get them to market.
