Thank you for the question.
I completely agree with you. We'll take into account the comments made during today's meeting and at future meetings on the committee's current study when we advise the minister on the next steps and the renewal of our strategy. Also, MPs have a role to play, because they have contacts and ties and are part of parliamentary groups, such as the Canada‑Indonesia group.
Global Affairs Canada encourages you to take advantage of these ties, contacts and platforms to strengthen our relations in the Indo-Pacific region. One of the first objectives of the strategy was to increase our presence and be more reliable in the region. This is an objective not only for the government, but also for Canadians, whether we're talking about businesses, organizations, or members of Parliament.
