Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thanks to our esteemed witnesses for joining us today on this very important study.
Ms. Oyelade, you mentioned the importance of leveraging diaspora networks to grow business and maybe, of course, grow trade. I absolutely agree. Earlier this month, at the African Union high-level dialogue, I joined the Prime Minister, Minister Ng and colleagues to lead a conversation with local leaders, who repeatedly mentioned exactly what you have said about the vital links between diaspora communities and the role they can play to strengthen our business relationships.
Can you perhaps speak to how we can build on these important links within the African Canadian diaspora of over 1.2 million, and how women-led businesses can leverage this important link to grow their business and trade?
