Thank you.
Honestly, I think the IPS that Canada issued in November 2022 is a very comprehensive and progressive policy. After all, it is unprecedented in Canada. You never had that kind of policy, one involving so many agencies and things like that. You have a very good road map as to how you want to engage in the Indo-Pacific region.
Canada is also very important in the G7, as well as in NATO. These strengths seem to be not so much perceived by the Canadian people. That is very unfortunate. You shouldn't always see yourself as a medium power. When you say that, you're thinking about the size of your population, but you are a rich country. You are second only to Russia in terms of territory. You are so rich in natural resources. You haven't used all of your assets yet. This is why I think Canada should play a greater leadership role.
If you think your current leadership is not sufficient, you probably shouldn't just complain. You should take up greater leadership in the G7 and NATO and among like-minded countries. In that case, anything between Canada and Taiwan can loom large. I mean, our bilateral relationship would be upgraded to another level.
