Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Minister, for your candid responses today.

One thing I'm curious about is NATO's position on the no-fly zone. I think the rationale is correct as to why it wouldn't be appropriate to have one, but what I'm more curious about is why NATO chose to make that position public. Why broadcast to someone like Mr. Putin what you might or might not do? Why not keep him on tenterhooks, wondering what we might do?
