Dear ,

I’m writing as a constituent from your riding ahead of International Development Week to stress that Canada must deepen energy partnerships with Africa to support growth, open new markets, and improve livelihoods for all.

At a time when Africa as a continent is changing its narrative from aid to trade, becoming a key player in global trade, to build its economies and eradicate poverty, Canada needs to step up and not fall behind.  Investing in Africa would help unlock its economic potential while creating new opportunities for Canadians, particularly in the energy sector.

Canada can use its expertise in energy to alleviate one of the most cited barriers to prosperity in Africa: Electricity. As a matter of fact, many African countries still do not have yet universal access to electricity.

Cher ,

En tant qu'électeur de votre circonscription, et alors que la Semaine du développement international approche, je vous écris pour vous souligner que le Canada doit approfondir ses partenariats énergétiques avec l'Afrique afin de soutenir la croissance, d'ouvrir de nouveaux marchés et d'améliorer les moyens de subsistance de tous.

À l'heure où l'Afrique, en tant que continent, change sa rhétorique, passant de l'aide au commerce, devenant un acteur clé du commerce mondial, afin de développer ses économies et d'éradiquer la pauvreté, le Canada doit se mobiliser et ne pas prendre de retard.  Investir en Afrique contribuerait à libérer son potentiel économique tout en créant de nouvelles opportunités pour les Canadiens, en particulier dans le secteur de l'énergie.

Le Canada peut mettre à profit son expertise dans le domaine de l'énergie pour aider à surmonter l'un des obstacles les plus souvent cités à la prospérité en Afrique : l'électricité. En effet, de nombreux pays africains n'ont toujours pas accès à l'électricité pour tous.

Je vous remercie d'avoir pris le temps d'examiner mon point de vue.

Cordialement,

Canada must step up on energy partnerships with Africa
