I'd just like to ask, Mr. Heidrich, the GMAP states that the federal government will “ensure that all Government of Canada diplomatic assets are harnessed to support the pursuit of commercial success by Canadian companies and investors.” The plan also indicates that Canada's trade policy framework will “leverage development programming to advance Canada’s trade interests.”
I was wondering if you could talk a little bit about how development programming can support Canada's trade interests, and to what extent trade priorities and development goals can be mutually reinforcing and produce meaningful results for both Canada and developing countries.
