Mr. Chair, I think the Indo-Pacific strategy is clear: what Canada aspires to is the status quo in terms of regional peace and stability in the region. Therefore, we will engage, together with other like-minded countries, in opposing any unilateral actions that will threaten the status quo.
As part of that effort, Canada has invested in a number of initiatives to help contribute to the status quo and the regional peace and security in that area. That is a multi-initiative contribution, including an enhanced naval presence and a cybersecurity initiative, to cite two elements under that strategic objective of promoting peace and resilience and security.
With regard to second question on NATO, I think we need to be mindful that NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Therefore, we need to be mindful of what Asian countries would like in how do they organize, discuss and reach out to non-Asian countries in terms of their desires to have them engage in order to be helpful in that regard. That's why participation in forums such as the ASEAN Post Ministerial Conference and the ASEAN Regional Forum are very important so that we can understand what is it they need in the way of supports to deal with their objective and our objective, which is regional peace.
