Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to the witnesses for joining our study.
With your expertise, we're trying to look at how we can strengthen and improve Canada's Indo-Pacific strategy. I'm going to give you the opportunity to expand on any concrete actions you may have in mind and would like to tell us about.
Canada has submitted its bid to host the ASEAN summit, which will take place in 2029.
First, I would like to hear your opinion on that. Is it worth it? Is it justified?
How could we take this opportunity to continue working on our strategy?
I'll start with Dr. Martel. I'll then turn to Mr. Caouette.
