Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for appearing.
I'd like to direct my questions to you, Dr. Welsh. Thank you for appearing. It's good to see you again.
I note that while we've had a defence policy since 2004, which is currently being updated, we've not had a national security policy since 2004 and, as you pointed out, we've not had a comprehensive foreign policy review since 2005, an initiative I believe you led way back when, under the government of Paul Martin.
I'm particularly interested in getting your take on how we should approach a foreign policy review. As you know, the government took some time to publish an Indo-Pacific strategy. If the Government of Canada is going to build on that, how should we divide the rest of the world geographically to accomplish other strategies? Should there be a Euro-Atlantic strategy and then—I know this term if falling out of use—maybe a global south strategy? How would you divide the rest of the world geographically so at least we have a written document from which everybody can be working?
