I would add to that that we are in a number of clubs that can engage in a way. The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership has 12 partners. People forget that, of the 40 countries in the Indo-Pacific region, 21 are members of the Commonwealth. That's over half. Three are members of la Francophonie.
You start to put these groups together, and you realize that we have other multilateral vehicles with which to engage diplomatically as well as culturally, and we have people-to-people ties through a variety of funds. I think we often forget that we're able to do that.
I want to talk about India. It may not be the expertise of either of you. Recently, the President of Finland was in India. He said that, together, Finland and India make up 1.5 billion people. It was a bit of a joke. Together, Canada and India make up 1.5 billion people as well. India is absolutely critical as the most populous country in the world.
Do you have any thoughts on our new engagement with India, about opportunities, cautions, guardrails or anything that comes into the minds of either of you?
Perhaps we could go with Professor Caouette first, if he has anything.
