Mr. Chair, if I may add, in fact most of the interactions we have in the region are very good. A lot of the partners and allies we're working with in the region are very happy to see us. This is a great opportunity in a space where there isn't a defence organization like NATO, where Canada can contribute and do partnership work with a lot of other countries in the region. It helps to give them a level of comfort that Canada is paying attention and that we're looking to have some skin in the game as well.
This is a great opportunity for us, and it's a good-news story to have so many Canadians operating in the region as we coalesce around this Indo-Pacific strategy.
