Welcome back, members. We will now resume our meeting on the study of the situation at the Russia-Ukraine border and implications for peace and security.
I would like to welcome our two witnesses.
We have with us Mr. Mark Winfield, who is a professor in the faculty of environmental and urban change at York University. He is joining us from Toronto.
From the Canadian Global Affairs Institute, we have Joe Calnan, manager, energy security forum, who is joining us from Calgary.
We're very grateful that you could join us.
You will each be provided with five minutes for your opening remarks, after which we will go to the members for any questions that they wish to pose to you. I would just ask, since you are doing this virtually, that you look at the screen, because when you're very close to your time limit, I will hold this card up. If you do see that sign, I would be grateful if you would wrap up your remarks as soon as possible. That's not only for your opening remarks; it's also in response to questions put to you by the members as well.
We will start with you, Mr. Winfield. You have five minutes. The floor is yours.
