Yes, it's an interesting thing to think about, because I think that there is a role for parliamentarians too, to build those relationships and to ensure that we have those connections and those relationships with people in the Indo-Pacific strategy as we try to diversify Canada's economy. Unfortunately, at this point, there is one party in the House of Commons that is not allowing for parliamentary travel at the moment. It is disappointing, because I think there is that role there.
Mr. Kucharski, I feel like you're being a little bit abandoned, but we're both online. I'm going to ask the next question of you.
You spoke a lot about Canada being left out of the, as you call them, minilaterals, that we're not at those tables. We know that in the Indo-Pacific strategy there is a desire by Canada to join in the Indo-Pacific economic framework for prosperity that the United States launched in 2022.
First of all, can you explain why you think we're not being included? I think you touched on it, but give just a little bit more detail. Do you think it is worthwhile? What is the value of being part of the Indo-Pacific economic framework for prosperity?
