We're back in session. Thank you very much for your patience as we get everything all set up.
We are now in public and ready to hear from two very intriguing and interesting witnesses, I'm sure, as we look into our Indo-Pacific strategy. It's all about Canada-China relations at the root.
I'd like to now welcome our two witnesses. Jennifer May is Ambassador of Canada to the People's Republic of China, and she's appearing by video conference at some probably incredibly beastly hour of the day, I would presume. Oh, it's 12 hours away. That's 8 a.m. That's good.
David Morrison is the deputy minister of foreign affairs.
I understand, Mr. Morrison, you're going to begin with five minutes, and then we'll turn it over to Ambassador May for five minutes.
