Thank you, Mr. Bergeron, for the clarification with respect to the motion. I am always ready to testify before this committee and any other.
With regard to the EU sanctions, I believe the EU will reconsider its position, given that we have now seen Russia cut off Poland, Bulgaria and Finland because they did stick to the sanctions. When they were called upon to pay for Russian gas in rubles, they took a principled position, refused to do so, and Russia cut them off. I understand that Russia is now cutting off other countries and strategically cutting off other businesses and industries.
It is clear that Russia is now engaging in the continuation of the gas wars they have played for the last 30 years. Every time there was a political problem with Ukraine, they would cut the gas off to Europe so that the Europeans would pressure the Ukrainians. When speaking of unity of the allies, one of the principles of that is “nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine”. The point was made earlier with Madam Joly that Ukrainians are allies as well, and there is no unity on that question with the Ukrainians. They object to the waiver of those sanctions.
