Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), we are studying the situation in Ukraine. I would like to introduce our witnesses quickly.
From the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development, we have Matthew Levin, director general, Europe-Eurasia bureau. We have Tamara Guttman, director general of the stabilization and reconstruction task force, and Dave Metcalfe, director general of Europe-Middle East programming. All three will be delivering opening remarks.
In case there are additional questions, we also have, from the Department of National Defence, Brigadier-General Todd Balfe, director general, plans, and Strategic Joint Staff.
From the Department of Natural Resources, we have Drew Leyburne, director general, energy policy branch.
We have, from the Department of Finance, Steven Kuhn, chief of the international finance section, international trade and finance branch.
Welcome, everyone.
I'm going to turn it over for opening remarks. We're going to have Matthew Levin start and then we'll move right down the line. As we normally do, we'll then commence some question and answer rounds that will precede all of your presentations.
I'll turn it over to you, sir.
