Mr. Chair, I thank my colleague for the question.
As I said in my speech, I wholeheartedly think that Africa is not doomed, in that certain things can truly be prevented. We are well aware that in African countries, a combination of a number of factors can ignite things quickly and significantly.
I am thinking of extreme poverty, overpopulation, lack of education, and so forth. My colleague also raised the issue of morality. Indeed, we know that Canada is one of those countries whose economy benefits from this resource extraction.
However, when will we stop and think that this mineral extraction sector of the economy must stop being used to ignite and fuel conflicts?
