Because of Zimbabwe's poor record on [[human right]]s and [[democracy]], Canada has imposed [[International sanctions|sanctions]] on Zimbabwe which include aid suspension and [[Visa (document)|visa]]-ban to some members of the [[Harare]] government. Bilateral trade totalled C$16 million in 2011, down from C$430 million in 1999. Canadian investment in Zimbabwe is primarily in the mining sector.<ref>{{cite web
