Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you as well, Mr. Oliphant.
Ms. Dembińska and Mr. Snyder, I'm very happy to have you here.
I especially want to thank Ms. Dembińska, who is a full professor at the Université de Montréal. I am very proud to be the member of Parliament for Outremont, where the Université de Montréal is located.
Ms. Dembińska, I read with great attention and interest your article of February 27, 2022, in the daily La Presse. I invite all my colleagues to read this article, entitled “La guerre, point culminant d'une série d'échecs pour M. Poutine” or “The war, the culmination of a series of failures for Mr. Putin,” which was published during the first days of this war.
In the article, you talk about the failure of President Putin's plans A, B and C. You end by talking about his plan B, in the context of this war. Of course, I also believe that President Putin's plan was to take Kyiv and install a puppet government there. Now it seems that this plan has also failed.
You mentioned a possible plan E, the division of Ukraine. Do you think this plan will work?
