Thank you, Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses for joining us today, as well as you, Minister Bibeau, and your officials.

Through you, Mr. Chair, I'll direct all my questions to Minister Bibeau.

You mentioned in your opening the Indo-Pacific strategy. With the opening of the very first Indo-Pacific agriculture and agri-food office in the region, can you tell us more about how the Indo-Pacific strategy and upcoming office have been received by our Indo-Pacific partners as well the overall agriculture sector?
