Thank you, Your Excellency.
I'd now like to turn to the ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany, Her Excellency Ms. Sparwasser.
Your Excellency, I was a little surprised not to hear a few words in French in your opening remarks. Your accept is so lovely.
In any event, on July 12, on the CBC program Power and Politics, you said that Canada's decision to grant a permit to return the turbine to Germany helped the country free itself from dependence on Russian energy.
How did sending the turbine reduce Germany's dependence on Russian‑produced energy?
