I just might say that the question you posed is an important one but a hypothetical one in terms of how we might respond to a particular scenario.
What is important is to say what we're already doing. As the brigadier-general has already pointed out, Canada has expanded its defence and security engagement in the Indo-Pacific in recent years. That includes the enhanced naval presence that's been referred to and co-operation with our partners, increasingly discussions with Japan and Korea, and so forth.
If you're watching the activity and you're seeing the degree to which the Canadian presence and regularity of our operational exercises has increased, you'll understand that we are following these developments with great concern.
