Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to all the witnesses.
I know that sanctions have been something which the committee has been calling for here and certainly something which we have been calling for, as have others.
I'm curious, Mr. Levin, about the economic sanctions the Government of Canada is imposing on the Yanukovych regime officials responsible for human rights abuses. Can you tell us in a little more detail how these sanctions are being enforced and why the government selected these particular measures to announce the first sanctions it would undertake?
