President of World Vision Canada Michael Messenger remarked of the visit: "It’s my hope that Bono’s visit will boost Canadian awareness and engagement on international development priorities. Today’s discussions underscore that we cannot work alone - success and innovation happen when we’re all at the table, committed to improving the lives of children"
