Thank you very much, and I think that's a very, very important question, particularly given the fact that in a democracy we need to be able to have citizens' support when it comes to pursuing our national interest. That requires a well-informed citizenry that is informed about the importance of why and where Canada engages in the world, why we pursue particular foreign policies and how that advances the interests of everyday people.
That requires, as you pointed out, a sustained effort, particularly in a country as fortunate as Canada, which does not have to deal with the threats that many other countries in the world deal with. We are surrounded by three oceans and a very friendly superpower, and we have been, in the past 150 years, part of the group that shaped the international order, so our citizens are comfortable ignoring international politics.
Now, the fact that it is changing today—that we no longer have the luxury of assuming that bad things happen to other people in faraway places—should be a wake-up call, not only for the government but for civil society, media and others to engage regularly with everyday Canadians and explain to them and inform them, and there has to be a feedback mechanism. There has to be a back-and-forth to address their concerns and explain how pursuing our foreign policy interests is also about increasing their security and prosperity, and that requires investment. If we don't do that, we will lose the democratic legitimacy of pursuing what we are doing.
