Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
We are here to talk about the priority of the Minister of National Defence through maybe a mandate letter.
If I look at what's been happening in the Indo-Pacific region—and we have not really touched on this today—we've seen a regional tension in the South China Sea and more broadly in the Indo-Pacific. I also understand that in the region, we are talking with like-minded partners on some topics, from naval partnership to artificial intelligence. Can you speak on how, specifically, the CAF role in the Indo-Pacific region has changed over the past two years, and what this is intended to signal? I know there has been great initiative, so I would really like us to share this with the committee.
