Mr. Speaker, I also would like to congratulate my colleague on his re-election. In his really great speech he highlighted democracy and why it is so important.
He talked about the different ways that we are looking to trade around the world and the different partnerships that Canada is looking to grow. He mentioned in his speech the opportunities that could be available to also collaborate with Africa. I would like to see if the member would like to expand a little on that and talk about the economic power that lies within our communities.
