Thanks, Chair.
I would note that I did read the notes that we got. It quite clearly talks about the People's Republic of China in relation to the Indo-Pacific strategy. That's just to make sure Mr. Seeback knows that I am prepared when I come in here.
My question is about the media attention we've had over the last year with regard to Canada and China's relationship. I'm wondering if you can comment on the minister's decision to develop and implement an Indo-Pacific strategy and how that has impacted and allowed us to navigate the relationship with China over the course of the last year.
