We've gone to a more regularized three Canadian warships in the Indo-Pacific region as a means to demonstrate that Canada is a reliable and stable partner in the region. We have Euro-Atlantic interests, Arctic interests and Indo-Pacific interests. Those ships are a demonstration of Canada's resolve in the region.
We also have other activities, multinational maritime co-operation activities, that we conduct with other navies. We also have, indeed, spare-time training activities with our allies. We also have co-operation and training activities with other nations. I can get into a lot of detail if you wish, Chair, but it's the conglomeration of these activities, senior leaders' engagements and port visits that allows defence diplomacy to take place. It's not just the ships. There are air activities and there are ground activities through additional exercises.
