Issues, one of which is the United States has created a lot of fear about instability of sources of supply in energy products, the musings about diesel, for example. Yes. And on top of that, of course, you attracted a lot of attention with your speech at Davos in January. Have either of those events changed how things are going to work at these summits for you? Is there more interest in Canada, and do you think either of them will lead to any commercial Commercial deals for Canada.

Responding to the weaponization of integration, which is basically what's happened, or the dangers of excessive concentration, so the response to that has been to seek partnerships with a broad range of countries, and then when the world looks around, well, Who's a good energy partner? Who's an energy superpower? Canada. Who can supply critical minerals? Canada. Who has decent, if not very good, intelligence infrastructure? Thank you. Again, Canada and building out. So there's a variety of areas where we can be part of the solution, and we're a country that stands by its agreements, which is another key component. So it is manifesting. It's part of our strategy. Absolutely, 100%. We're very transparent about it. It's part of our strategy to develop this dense web of connections to make us resilient, to make us more independent, to make us sovereign so we can live our lives as we choose, so we're not being told what to do by some hegemon or a hyperscaler. And it is, to varying degrees, part of the strategies of many, many countries, and the two are coming together, and that's one of the reasons why you're seeing so much progress. And last question, dernière question. David Akin, Global News. Good afternoon. Thank you for taking our questions. Appreciate the patience. Vladimir Putin has not been at a major summit with Western world leaders since the full scale invasion of Ukraine. Will you participate in the family photo with Mr. Putin?
