Thank you very much.
Thank you, witnesses, for being here.
Mr. Ostwald, you have called for a rethinking of like-mindedness in the strategy and stressed ASEAN's preference for inclusive dialogue with China. Given Beijing's aggression in the South China Sea and toward Taiwan, in your opinion, has this approach left Canada weak and deferring to a body that refuses to confront coercion while our like-minded allies, such as Japan, Australia and the U.S., actually deliver results?
