Thank you for your questions, which I will try to answer, but will have to do so in English, unfortunately.
Canada is not unique in its position regarding the Chinese market. The Europeans, as well as the Canadians, are in a similar situation where the goal has traditionally been to have to decouple insofar as to ensure close, strong economic ties with China, whilst keeping China's military threat in check.
Canada is a core member of the G7. What we have seen are coordinated efforts on the part of the G7 to push back against authoritarian rule and authoritarian violation of the rule of law and international economic standards and regulations.
What we do want to see, though, is greater commitment from Canada on the restoration of international institutions such as the WTO. We are going to see more trade disputes. We need to have a mechanism for resolution and dispute settlement. That is not in existence. Just because the WTO today, for a number of political reasons, is weakened, it does not mean that there is no need for the WTO—far from it. Can Canada play a part in that? I believe so. That's one in terms of being a proponent of institutions that will ensure greater clarity and transparency and economic engagement.
The other, of course—and your discussion with Ambassador Yamanouchi talked about this at great length—is about energy security and the export of the rich natural resources that Canada enjoys. There is an opportunity there.
Finally I do want to say this. When we talk about supply chain resilience, and we're talking about reimagining how global interdependence can be more effective, moving forward, this provides an opportunity for Canada to be the innovation nation. It can be at the heart of some of the new pioneering areas of science and technology that are emerging. It has world-class universities and researchers. We are at a point where we are trying to establish new rules for data management and the like.
My hope is that Canada—because as I said, Canada is a high-trust nation—will leverage the trust that it has from the international community to be part of the rule-making order.
