Just to your preamble, Mr. Baker, I share your disappointment in the behaviour, specifically of the Conservatives. I guess none of us should be surprised, because Canada's economy is really strong.
I think that, clearly, the Conservatives simply don't want to have a substantive discussion about the strength of our economy or about Canada's outstanding performance relative to our G7 peers on all indicators—jobs, fiscal performance and growth—but I'm happy to talk about it.
I'm also really happy to talk about Ukraine. While we disagree about many things in this committee, I hope that something we can agree about here and in the House of Commons is the paramount, existential importance of the war in Ukraine. I hope that's something we can all support.
I do want to assure the Canadians who are listening that as Canadians, as a country, we can be proud of the role our country is playing in supporting the incredibly brave people of Ukraine.
When it comes to financial support, direct budget support to the government of Ukraine—which continues to function, which is paying pensions, which is rebuilding that electricity grid that gets pounded every night by Russia—Canada on a per capita basis in the G7 is contributing the most to support Ukraine. I think we should all be really proud of that.
Canada is also a world leader when it comes to our sanctions regime and our actions to seize and to confiscate assets.
I do want to thank all members of this committee, all members of the House, because it was in our budget implementation bill last spring that Canada improved our legislation, allowing us to have the world's strong asset seizure and confiscation regime. That is something other countries of the world are looking to. That is something that sanctions Russia, that deters Russia, and it is something that supports Ukraine.
