I will invite everyone to come back to the table. I want to welcome our witnesses for the second hour.
We have with us Lisa Shymko, executive director of the Canadian Friends of Ukraine and chair of the Canada-Ukraine Parliamentary Centre.
Welcome, Lisa.
We also have with us Taras Zalusky, the executive director of the national office for the Ukrainian Canadian Congress.
Welcome, sir.
Our last guest, appearing as an individual, is Taras Kuzio, senior visiting fellow, Center for Transatlantic Relations, Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University.
Welcome to you, Taras.
I believe that you all have opening statements, so why don't I just start with Taras Zalusky?
