Thanks.

I've noted since I was elected that there has been a reduction in and a consolidation of the number of countries Canada is delivering aid to. I'm wondering if you could advise us on the criteria for determining which countries are struck off and which are included. Is that criteria transparent? Is it at the discretion of the minister? Is it at the discretion of CIDA? Do those factors include good governance, transparency, and reduced corruption?

See context to find out what was said next.
