Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for your testimony, Minister.
I am going to ask first about the Indo-Pacific, and then I'd like to ask about Canada's NATO commitments, and then third I'd like to ask about energy.
On the issue of the Indo-Pacific strategy, France published its strategy in 2019. The United Kingdom published its strategy in March 2021, a year ago. The U.S. published its strategy shortly thereafter, mid-year last year. Germany came forward with its guidelines, as it calls them, in 2020.
The U.S. ambassador has said the U.S. administration is waiting on Canada's new Indo-Pacific strategy.
My first question is, will the government make its Indo-Pacific strategy publicly available when it's complete, and if not, why not, seeing that these other countries have made theirs public? I've actually been able to download these documents online; they're available so we can understand their approach to the Indo-Pacific region. Will the strategy be made public?
