Thank you, all of you, for your attention today.
I invite you to really think about a shift in who is moving forward with democratic practices. For example, we can look at Brazil, which is a country that has had very different types of governments electorally chosen to govern. What's important to realize is the role of civic space and the civil society organizations and coalitions—for example, Pacto—that convene folks with different political positioning, but with a strong defensive democracy and democratic practice, working together to make sure that is robust. There's a lot of learning that can happen just in looking at that example.
Also, connecting Pacto—again, as an example—with democracy activists in other countries and really breaking the model of north and south, and taking a look at the shifting space that's happening globally, is in Canada's interest, and it's certainly in the interest of democracies worldwide. For Canada to continue to thrive, it needs to be part of a worldwide community of democracies.
