Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I almost wish we could stop on the “we are family”. It feels like a good place to hang our hats....
I do want to comment on something you had said in your opening statement as well. You had talked about multilateralism and how important that was going forward, and how the rules-based order was something that the Philippine government strongly believes in. You talked about trying to work to make it more constructive and more equitable.
How would you see the Filipino government playing a role in that, and how could Canada help in that manner?
