Thank you very much.
First of all, thank you for your presentations. My heart goes out both to you and to the Ukrainian diaspora who are feeling this pain, as well as to those of you who are working very closely in the Ukraine, and of course, to the people of Ukraine as well.
I want to ask a really concrete question about CIDA right now.
You asked specifically, Taras, that CIDA modify its mandate to the Ukraine so that we're looking more at good governance, democratic development, judicial reform, and support of civil society. From you, we've heard that there should be more support for NGOs so that we can build a stronger civil society. Can you elaborate on why this is important? Also, can you give examples of what Canada could be doing and where the focus should be?
I also want to comment that most of our CIDA projects that were in the area of governance, democracy, and the judiciary either have finished or will be finished in the next couple of months. This is a great concern to us as we now look at what's happening in the Ukraine.
