Thank you.
I'll do my best to answer you in French. Actually, it's been so long since I've had the opportunity to speak French that I lack the vocabulary. I'm a little embarrassed about that, but I'll give it my best shot, and I do apologize in advance.
I'm actually in Miami right now because of the storm in London, and I'm sorry I can't speak to you from there.
That's a very good question. Obviously there's a lot of synchronicity between the two strategies. However, both Canada and Quebec—which is represented throughout the Indo-Pacific region—can take other measures that are completely different to provide security to countries in that region, which would help everyone given the context.
In the last round, you asked a question about Canada's bid to obtain a seat on the UN Security Council, which is a very good example of the issue we're concerned about. We worked with the Australians and New Zealanders to try to get the Pacific islands' votes. They don't want to follow orders out of Canberra or Wellington, they want us to come to them in person and have a friendly conversation to explain who we are, what's important to us and what we feel we have in common with them for our future together.
It's really important that we travel to that region, as Canadians or Quebecers, to better understand local realities and show them the differences between Canada and the United States or France. There's no reason to cut corners: we need our feet on the ground in these countries so we can talk to the people who live there and listen to them.
