00:00If I may clarify, and I think I did say it this way, was that Canada prepared to contribute
00:07and we remain prepared to contribute to, once the strait is open, to maintaining the opening
00:13of the strait and the guarantees in and around that, and there's various ways to do that.
00:17I expect, I'm hopeful, maybe is the best way to put this, that there will be additional
00:25progress in terms of establishing a cessation of hostilities and something for the G7 and
00:32the main countries from the region, not all, but the main countries of the region, the UAE,
00:39Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Egypt coming to the special session for those discussions.
00:48So, and Canada will, we will look to do our part so that we can support a broader effort
00:53if the moment is presenting itself.
00:55There's still a few days to come for that.
00:58I would make a final point, which is, I would just underscore the link to Lebanon,
01:04the situation in Lebanon, the war effectively in Lebanon, and the need for that to be part
01:09of the broader solution.
