Thank you very much, Ambassador Theodore. It's a real pleasure to have you here. We're really grateful to have you in the position that you are in. I know Minister Ng really values and relishes her working relationship with you at the recent MC-12 just took place.
I want to build on some of your opening comments and ask you about Canada's role in advocacy for trade and gender that you talked about. Obviously, you are well situated to comment on this, as you know that the recent renegotiation of CUSMA included a trade and gender chapter. I'm sure you're quite familiar with the importance of gender that the Prime Minister has placed on our government and what he's provided in the mandate letter of Minister Ng.
Could you comment on how Canada can really take a leadership role in advocating more inclusive trade, including for women, with respect to our interactions with the WTO?
