I thank the Taoiseach for the update. I note the Taoiseach said there was ongoing engagement with Canada on seeking to work together to stop the brutal war in Gaza. Can the Taoiseach brief more on that and the steps that are ongoing with Canada on that?

How closely are the EU and Canada engaging on the tariff threat? We have seen Trump threatening Canada with a further 35% tariff despite the blanket 25% already there. We have seen Canada scrapping a proposed digital services tax apparently in order to appease Trump and yet that has not made a difference. How are the EU and Canada engaging at leadership level to respond to the US and its dominant position on services, particularly tech, and the tariff threat?

The Taoiseach referred to the Government's plan to ratify CETA. There are many people with real concerns about the investor court provisions in CETA and the prospect of the undermining of our own courts. Could the Taoiseach address that concern?
