Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the officials who are here today to share information with us.
I represent a riding in Edmonton. In Alberta, we have an enormous diaspora of Ukrainian individuals in our community, and they are deeply worried that the world's focus has shifted away from Ukraine. It's very important to hear about the work being done to help Ukraine rebuild and to support Ukrainian children being returned to Ukraine.
I want to get a bit of a sense from you on the geopolitical impacts, though. We are seeing Iran, even today, threatening further violence in the Middle East. We also know Iran is working closely with Russia. We know Russia and China have an agreement to work with each other.
Could you give us a sense of what that looks like and what the threats are there? How do you see that playing out over the next few months?
