Thank you.

Since 2008 all food aid has been fully untied, and that's quite an achievement. It's something that governments and countries have talked about for many years, and Canada really led the way. So that was a significant achievement.

We have virtually untied all the rest of our aid as well. There's a tiny proportion that is related to specific requests for Canadian expertise, so that is still defined as falling in technical assistance as tied aid, but it is only when it is for Canadian expertise.
