Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to both of the witnesses for being here tonight.
I wanted to begin with Professor Nagy. I'm just sorting out a couple of your remarks.
You said in your remarks that it was important for Canada to work with allies in our geopolitical strategy and in sorting out our relationship with China, and you mentioned the United States, Japan, Australia and others. You've also written that it's important for Canada to differentiate from the United Sates in our approach on the Indo-Pacific, which includes China.
I'm just wondering where that is. Is one on national security issues or international security issues, the other on trade and commerce? In your opinion, where should we be aligned and where should we differentiate, particularly with the United States?
