Mr. Chair, maybe I'll start by saying that these are early days and that we're trying to assess the region, the dynamics and the credibility of the partners to assess whether there's a say-do gap between what we hear and what we see. We're doing so in partnership with other government departments and allies, and then we try to find credible partners in the region with whom we can work militarily.
