Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for appearing.
I noted that in the 2023 article that you both published in an international journal, you said that:
Countries are increasingly invited to international coalitions because they are willing and able to bring something to the table, not because of who they are or what they represent. In an era of resurgent great power competition, this material factor is likely to dominate the creation of international coalitions going forward.
You also added that, “the twenty-first century will be more like a potluck than a party: one must bring something to be invited.”
In that context and in the context of your opening remarks, perhaps you could tell us what capabilities Canada presently has to bring to the potluck and what capabilities Canada lacks.
