Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you to our witness. I very much value the testimony you've provided.
I'd like to follow up with some of the questions that Monsieur Gourde asked about energy in particular, because it has certainly been a tumultuous couple of years in energy. Coming from an energy-producing part of our country, I follow it closely and I found it very interesting how you talked about Europe's experience and the interference specifically related to Russian energy. You mentioned Gazprom and whatnot. Certainly Canada's experience is different because we're not importing—at least not raw energy. There are refined products that do come to Canada.
I'm wondering if you could expand a little bit on that and specifically on the impact that sort of interference, that sort of nefarious influence, has on destabilizing regimes, especially at a time when you have not only the dynamics associated with the geopolitical sphere but also a conflict that is ongoing.
