Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I note that you gave that warning before I spoke, which I think makes it seem like there may be a rationale for that.
It's wonderful to have you here today. Thank you very much for being here.
We were talking about human rights, and I know that's perhaps not something that has to do with defence, but it is an issue for me. I've worked with Mr. Brunelle-Duceppe a lot on Canadian mining companies and the impacts they have had on human rights in the Philippines and in other areas. However, let's keep this to defence.
Could you talk a little bit about how Canada could assist in terms of de-escalating the conflict in the South China Sea, please?
