I'll lead off. You asked if the Canada First defence strategy is something that DFAIT shared as part of our framework for readiness. Yes, it was developed in close consultation, etc., with us and others in the system. So yes.

I think Jill is better situated to answer your questions about the Canada First defence strategy as a framework.

On peacekeeping, Jill, maybe you can lead off if there's anything else we want to add.
