Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you to our witnesses for your expertise and your testimony this afternoon.
Ms. Nadjibulla, something that stands out from all of your testimony today is the tension or the balance that needs to be struck between issues of economics and issues of security and geopolitics. Canada's problem as a middle power, if I can put it that way, is that we don't necessarily always have the economic or military might to dictate terms, especially in a region as large as the Indo-Pacific.
From the balance in 2022, what do we look at now? Are there areas in which we need to recalibrate, in your view, to strike that delicate balance?
