Okay. Thank you, Chair.
My first question is in regard to hawkish versus diplomatic. When we look at places like Venezuela.... Again, I apologize that I'm referring to this in a European context here, but I say that because one reason it has been so difficult for the free world to intervene is the strong presence of Russia and China there in terms of resources.
As such, we're left to deal with the great powers not as the U.S., but as Canada. I'm asking for your advice—again, as a nation, as Canada—in regard to what you think would be the most successful approach to deal with these other great powers, as I guess the U.S. is now referring to them, but I apologize—there was a term I learned at the Trilateral Commission that escapes me now. What is the best attitude and approach for Canada to take in regard to these other two, I'll say, great emerging powers, two-way [Technical difficulty—Editor] internationally?
