Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm going to allow myself two comments before I ask my question.
First, I would like to add my voice to that of Mr. Bergeron. I think I also speak for the members of this committee when I say that we would love to have the experts from Global Affairs Canada come and testify in person if at all possible.
Secondly, as we have a very busy schedule, if the clerk could send us any updates on the situation over the next few weeks and months, we would appreciate it.
Mr. Turner, I would like to take a step back and ask you to please give us your opinion of how this conflict fits into a larger geopolitical context. In particular, how would you say that this impacts the importance or the strength of Russia's CSTO, the Collective Security Treaty Organization, which styles itself as a bit as a counter to NATO?
Armenia is part of that group and specifically called for military assistance from the CSTO, but was rebuffed. Could you comment on what impact that might have?
