Thank you for the question, Chair. Maybe I'll start with the strategy itself.
One of its strategic objectives is for Canada to be a reliable, engaged and active partner in the region. That requires us to have that 10-year time horizon for the strategy. It really is intended to be the foundation to guide our strategic approach. We do expect, over the course of the life of the strategy, that bilateral issues will come up. That's certainly the case in the past few days.
I can say in this committee, and it might be recent news, that the Prime Minister in New York today did remark that there's no question that India is a country of growing importance and a country that we need to continue to work with, not just in the region but around the world. We're not looking to provoke or cause problems, but Canada is unequivocal around the importance of the rule of law and unequivocal about the importance of protecting Canadians and standing up for our values. That's why we have called upon the Government of India to work with us to establish processes, to discover and uncover the truth of the matter, and to allow justice and accountability to be served.
That's the current posture on India in the context of that broader, long-term horizon for the strategy.
