Thank you, Mr. Chair.
For transcription, I would like to read the motion that proposed this study, after which we can proceed with the vote:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Foreign Affairs and International Development Committee undertake a study on the escalating situation at the Russia-Ukraine border that risks peace and security in the region, the Government of Canada’s support for our allies in Ukraine and the path to Ukraine’s accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as reaffirmed at the 2021 NATO Brussels Summit; that the committee hold a minimum of four (4) meetings on this study, including two (2) meetings to hear from witnesses and two (2) meetings to receive briefings from officials concerning the situation and, recognizing the sensitivity of matters of national security, that one of the latter briefing meetings be held in camera and the other in public.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
