Canada is in a very fortunate position. In many respects—and the Prime Minister has said this—we have what the world wants and needs today, be it energy, critical minerals or agriculture, and we have an incredibly talented and well-educated population. We are the envy of the world, in many respects. What is unfortunately happening in the world far away from us is making our strengths come even more to the fore.
We are in a stronger—and perhaps increasingly strong—position because of the benefits Canada has. I think about benefits in terms of either nature or nurture. We have nature by way of our natural resources and the geography that we benefit from, and we have nurture by having human capital and policies that allow us to appropriately exploit those resources for our benefit. Canada is in an incredible position today.
I have to say that being the ambassador for Canada to the United States is not an easy job in today's world, but I wouldn't choose any other country to be the ambassador of to the United States. We are in a position of strength as a country, and if we can harness both natural and developed advantages, we are going to be in a very good position in our relationship with the United States and with the world in the decades ahead.
