I'll get right to it. Both of our guests, thank you so much. I really appreciate your testimony.
I have questions for both of you, first on aid, concerning how we get it to the right people. Can either of you give us a brief summation now? How does it fit in with the IMF funding? Is there something that Canada can do to help direct it in the right place?
On human rights, this is very layered and complicated, but it's a question about ensuring that we are supporting, if you will.... It is up to the Ukrainian people, obviously, to decide their future, but we also want to make sure that we're not making things worse. How do we ensure that there are going to be free and fair elections in support of the aspirations of those in the Maidan who, as you said, do not support any of the political options?
Further to that, should we, as we have asked the government to do, provide pre-election observers as soon as possible to make sure that there is an understanding of what's happening on the ground with the upcoming elections?
I'll stop there.
