Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses for their work and for helping us today.
I want to start with Ms. Horton. Thank you for your testimony today.
You've written that Canada will have to leverage its limited impact by maximizing complementarity with its partners. Looking at the Indo-Pacific strategy, obviously we can't do everything. We do have to focus, and there is some focusing in it.
Earlier tonight in the first panel, one of our witnesses suggested that we should not be engaging as much—I wasn't exactly sure what he was talking about—with Vietnam because it didn't meet the standards of Canadian engagement and we should focus on other countries that are more vibrant democracies. I'd like your take on that. Is that the correct way to strategize or are there more pragmatic ways to do it?
