Colleagues, thank you so much. As I mentioned, we're turning around very quickly.
For our second hour of the panel, from the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, we have Peter MacDougall, assistant deputy minister, global issues and development.
Mr. MacDougall, welcome. Thank you for being here. We sincerely apologize for the delay. That is the nature of procedure in the House of Commons sometimes, but thank you for your willingness to stay.
We also have Tara Denham, the director general of the Ukraine strategic action team.
You have up to five minutes for opening remarks and then we're going to proceed with questions.
We obviously heard from Minister Solskyi just today. It was powerful testimony. We know that you will be watching this entire issue closely. I'm going to turn it over to you for opening remarks and then we'll get to questions.
Mr. MacDougall.
