Thank you for the question. It's nice to see you, Dr. Lewis.
I'd like to answer the question in two parts.
First, as I mentioned in my opening remarks, every one of our projects is for the benefit of Canadians, and the infrastructure is partly in Canada. Some 235,000 Canadian workers are working on the 102 projects that we're financing today. These generate clear Canadian benefits. That's one of the beauties of infrastructure, of course. When you build infrastructure, it drives significant local economic benefit in the building. It drives even greater economic benefit in the using, by creating new trade routes and by connecting Canadians. These are the long-term benefits of infrastructure. All of our projects deliver those, as per our mandate.
Many of our projects are also part of global supply chains. As I said, whether it's solar panels or chips, many manufactured goods come from Canadian suppliers, but many come from global markets. In short, it's not the CIB's role to tell our amazing project partners, be they provinces, territories, private companies or regulated entities like BC Ferries, where they should best source their components.
