I think there's more we can do over the lifetime of this strategy. It has in fact been a year since the launch of the strategy. Of course, because significant resources are being committed to the strategy, it takes time for the process of Parliament and for budgets to be allocated.
Where there is more for us to do covers all of the pillars. There's more we can do on security, and we're doing a terrific job. There's more we can do on trade by being a leading partner in the CPTPP, which is strengthening supply chain resilience throughout the Indo-Pacific region.
There's certainly more we can do on people-to-people exchange. I want to see more young Canadians take up language, take up expertise and study the history, the culture, the trade and the politics of this region, so that our bench strength, if you will, as a country, over the next decades and generations is much more sophisticated and expert at the goings-on in the region, which will be the most important economic region in the world.
There's more we can do on climate. Some of the extraordinary effects of climate change on the Pacific island nations, for example, are where Canada will engage. There are countries that are literally at risk of not existing anymore if something isn't done to shore up their shorelines through coastal degradation mitigation.
There's more we can do on diplomacy. Canada will be staffing up a number of its missions in the region, again, to build up the expertise on security, on trade and on politics in the region. I think that's a good thing. I think it's a signal of a major once-in-a-generation, or more, shift of Canadian foreign policy, which will require all of these pillars to be executed to their maximum potential.
