Thanks, Mr. Chair. I will ask my questions in French.
I would like to start with Colonel Jerome Patry.
Since the adoption of its Indo‑Pacific strategy in 2022, Canada has clearly strengthened its presence and engagement in this region. My question is meant to reassure Canadians. I think that we have a role to play in this.
How has Canada's military posture in the Indo‑Pacific region changed since 2022? What position have we taken since 2022? Can we talk about capabilities? Have there been additional deployments to meet these needs, or are they meant to protect Canadian sovereignty and contribute to regional stability?
