Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to talk more about how Canada could be a stronger voice in helping Taiwan participate in a number of international organizations. You mentioned the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, the Quad, and the AUKUS alliance, but Canada itself is having trouble joining those organizations. Many see Canada as being relegated to the kids' table while the big players eat at the grown-ups' table.
I'd like to know if this situation is an advantage or a disadvantage, and to what extent. On the one hand, it might be an advantage if Canada thinks it may have nothing to lose, since it isn't currently a member of those organizations. On the other hand, it may be a disadvantage in the sense that, even if Canada decided to be more assertive, its voice would not be heard.
What are your thoughts on that?
