Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to both of the witnesses.
I have two questions, and I'd like comments from both of you. We'll try to split some time up to do this.
The first question has to do with the trilateral summit at Camp David among the United States, Japan and South Korea, and that relationship. South Korea and Japan have not always had an easy relationship, but something has emerged from that trilateral relationship: opportunities and challenges for Canada within that partnership agreement. What possibilities are there for us, and what challenges do you see for Canada?
The second question is on two elections, and I'll mention them both right away so you can take as much time on each as you wish. The Taiwanese elections have passed and the American presidential election is coming. What are the implications for our Indo-Pacific strategy, and for security and economic issues?
It's the trilateral and the elections. I'll go to Ms. Goto first.
