Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for being here today and for your testimony.
Dr. Wood, I'm going to continue on with you, if I could.
One thing we know is that right now in the south of Ukraine, it's very difficult for farming. The mines in place in the south and eastern parts are having a huge impact on the production of food. I know that we have a number of Russians on the sanctions list, but l learned last week that Canada exported 193,000 detonators to Kyrgyzstan in 2022. That was up from zero detonators in 2021. Unfortunately, Kyrgyzstan then exported 115,000 detonators to Russia. In effect, it appears that the detonators from Canada are actually being used in those mines that are preventing food security.
You talked about the interconnectedness of everything and about how we need to do better as a global community. Perhaps you could just discuss the implications of our sanctions regime not working effectively and what that means for Ukraine.
