It's a great question.
I think good strategies have clear strategic objectives that are achievable, as opposed to a laundry list of aspirational things. The Indo-Pacific strategy goes some way in comparison to others to narrow and drill down a bit more. I think there's a lot of uncertainty about the instruments that become enablers for the execution of the strategy. This is why I made the point that I feel national capacity building to promote our capability to navigate these new threat vectors in a data-driven and digitalized environment is fundamental to implementing some of the goals in the Indo-Pacific strategy.
On defence, it was recently published in Ottawa by the former chief of the defence staff himself that the Canadian Armed Forces does not have the capacity to respond to the threats the country is up against at the moment. The outcome of the defence review is very important to know how we're going to execute the defence and security aspects of the Indo-Pacific strategy.
It is a synthesis document that is very powerful in bringing economic, social and security levers together, but I think the tools of execution, such as higher education, military and defence projection and trade priorities, need to be fine-tuned a bit more.
