Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague from Winnipeg North for his speech and for emphasizing the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank.
After the Second World War, Canada learned its lesson well regarding the importance of being part of multilateral organizations to ensure development.
As we all know, when everyone works to create prosperity and wealth by investing in basic infrastructure, everyone benefits, as it ensures progress and development in Asian countries.
Canada is not the only investor in the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. Indeed, it is not 10 or 20 countries that expressed interest, but 80 countries.
According to my colleague, is it a good idea for Canada to do its part to invest in development in developing countries?
