Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to our committee, Madam Minister. On a more personal note, thank you for showing empathy for the many women, children and civilians killed in Israel and Gaza, and for your efforts to restore peace and dignity in the Middle East.
Our committee is studying Canada's diplomatic capacity. We invited you to appear because you are currently studying the future of diplomacy, an initiative that you introduced, to your credit.
Could you explain to this committee and to Canadians what the future of diplomacy looks like for you and for Global Affairs Canada?
