It does seem that if the Americans would, Taiwan may fare a lot better in defence, if they could. I think that's a given. If they don't, then I appreciate your perspective that others would come to the aid of Taiwan.
It seems that when the Americans discuss Taiwan, they rarely mention Canada at all. It seems that they don't feel we're a relevant player in the Indo-Pacific. We're not in AUKUS or part of the quadrilateral security dialogue, and we really haven't been doing a whole heck of a lot to equip our Arctic for defence.
I'm just wondering if you can weigh in with your thoughts on that. In the mind of the U.S., are we a relevant player in the Indo-Pacific in terms of Taiwan or others, and is that important?
