I thank you for a terrifically important question. You contextualized it by saying that Canada is not a heavyweight in our engagement with G7, G20 or CPTPP.
I think one of the charms and the success factors of Canada in the global context is that we don't come across as a super-weight. I hear this from.... I've met, I think, 14 presidents and prime ministers in the Indo-Pacific region over the past six months. We come across as a country that will listen, that will engage and that will sometimes translate some of the dialogue that's going on between some of the heavyweights, if you will.
Canada's approach, our diplomatic approach, our position in the world is very well received as a rational partner, as a partner who understands the position and the context of so many of our partners in the region. We're very well positioned and we're lucky to be in these global forums, in APEC, in the most impressive trade framework in the region and in the G7. We use our platforms there, I think, in a very effective, responsible and understanding way that is very well received by our partners with whom we engage who are not part of those dialogues.
That is a terrific strength that Canada brings to the table. I've witnessed it first-hand and I've heard it from political leaders throughout the Indo-Pacific numerous times over the past six months.
