The Indo-Pacific office is a very important tool that helps us take the next step to having more stable and diversified trade in the Indo-Pacific. For governments of many stripes, provincially and federally, in Canada, if we see things through the eye of our customer and we see things through the eye of the people who need food for themselves and to feed their animals, they value that stability and the relationship they have through their agreement with Canada through the CPTPP and by having the investment of Canada in the Indo-Pacific agri-food office.
