Thank you very much to the witnesses tonight. It has been really interesting testimony.
I want to build upon this point on the South China Sea and maritime disputes. I look at it as a question that cuts straight to the issue of cohesiveness within ASEAN. No organization that includes a collection of states is going to have unanimity on issues. I'm not making that point at all, but I do note that there are differences in perspective on this issue, so I wonder if each of you could touch on this point. Canada is looking at this, understanding that we have to engage in an Indo-Pacific strategy with China that is very different now from what it was a few years ago. If we're going to be moving closer to ASEAN, how prominently does this divide within the organization figure, and what would you advise us as a committee because of that?
Perhaps we'll go with Mr. Ostwald first, and then we'll continue through.
