00:01Very kind, because the current conflict is another example of the failure of the international
00:10order. Despite decades of UN Security Council resolutions, the work of the International
00:17Atomic Energy Agency and a succession of sanctions and diplomatic frameworks, Iran's nuclear
00:22threat remains. And now, the United States and Israel have acted without engaging the UN or
00:30consulting with allies, including Canada, which is to build true sovereignty. It can't
00:35be achieved in isolation. It requires diversification and partnership. Canada is focused on building
00:42a dense web of connections, ad hoc coalitions that work issue by issue with partners that
00:48share enough common ground on those issues to act together. In contrast, great powers
00:55can afford to go it alone. They have the market size, the military capacity, the leverage to
00:59dictate terms. Middle powers like Canada do not. And the old norms of the rules-based international
01:07order are being erased, and that new system that will emerge ultimately is yet to be built.
01:15global institutions have often been too slow to react to crises and too ineffective when
01:22they did. And this breakdown has been building over time.
