[...] From then on, for the author, Canadian influence in Africa is in decline, both diplomatically and economically. In fact, in light of our proposal, we express the wish to consult both the databases of our university library and those that we can find online on the internet. Confronting the sources and cross-checking the data should allow us to objectify and perform the famous epistemological break, if essential in the framework of a scientific work. 4. Theoretical Framework" As we have just appreciated above, the transcendence of common sense must be the creed on which our work is based. [...]
[...] These are three in number: - « open up new markets to multiply the outlets offered to Canadian exports ; - focus on specific sectors, such as mining and energy, to showcase Canadian skills ; - improve the reputation that Canada has carved out as a global enterprise committed to sharing knowledge and skills with developing countries2 » (Government of Canada, 2016). These objectives allow us to refine our research question in some way. In this sense, our research question must enable us to understand the reasons that drive Canada to strengthen its commercial ties with Africa, taking into account the indispensable development of the African continent. In fact, development and the fight against inequalities becomes the 'matrix' of Canadian commercial and economic policies towards the African continent. [...]
[...] Next, the other major source for our work is made up of the various reports and expertise of international and Canadian institutions on commercial relations between Africa and Canada. From then on, the reports of the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), those of the World Bank, even the reports of the Canadian Ministry of Finance in Ottawa and those of the Canadian Senate Standing Committee can offer valuable data for our study. Finally, we must not neglect secondary literature, and particularly journalistic articles. [...]

[...] Public aid for development is not only the sole political and economic reality. Canadian regional power, which is trying to emancipate itself from the United States, crystallized around the paradigm of domination, whether effective or symbolic. In this, the theory of regimes, initiated by Stephen Krasner7, may account for these aspects 5. Research Methodology In order to carry out this present study, we must have a precise methodology that must allow us to answer our questions. To this end, we will proceed in five steps that we propose to list as follows: Isstate of the art of the literature on the subject: This phase is crucial in that it must allow, on the one hand, the familiarization of our object of study.
