I appreciate it. I'll be splitting my time with Mr. Viersen.
As you know, Ambassador, there have been some changes within the European construct on setting up PESCO, now that they have their permanent European security and co-operation organization. I've had some concern about whether that's being competitive or does that include capacity building? I'd like to get your ideas about it.
Just in the last few days, there has been a new centre of excellence established in Finland on hybrid warfare. We were talking about that earlier. It's open to European and NATO members. The signatories are Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden, the U.K., and the U.S.A. Canada is absent from that list, and I'm hearing through back channels that the Europeans aren't happy that we didn't come in to the original memorandum.
Do you think Canada should be a member of the centre of excellence on hybrid warfare?
