Quickly, yes, it would definitely be very helpful. For example, in the Pacific Islands context, the U.S. does most of this engagement through the East-West Center, which is funded by state departments and based in Hawaii and D.C. Canada is not considered part of the Indo-Pacific, but in the context of the East-West Center, figuring out how to join some of the organizations that have already trod those pathways and that already have those networks in place might help us speed along our engagement.
However, a big problem is going to be the visas. We need to figure out better ways of facilitating visas. If you're sitting in Palau, for example, the visa to get to Canada is issued by Canada's office in Canberra, which is an eight-hour flight away and extremely expensive. A lot of these technical issues need to be cleared out of the way.
In terms of the parliamentary visits, those would be incredibly helpful because democracy is really under attack. If you look at a place like the Solomon Islands, where they've already delayed elections, having parliamentarians come to let the proto-authoritarians know that we're keeping an eye on them and reassuring those who are fighting for democracy in their own country that they have allies beyond their shores would be incredibly helpful.
