Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his very enlightening speech.
We know that things are tough right now when it comes to international co-operation because of the current global context. I also know that my colleague is working closely with the member for Lac‑Saint‑Jean on this issue.
I would like to hear his thoughts on an amendment proposed by the member for Lac‑Saint‑Jean to ensure that the smaller centres of international co-operation and solidarity in the regions are not overlooked. They may be smaller in scale than the ones in major urban centres, but they are just as essential. I would like to hear my colleague's comments on that.
