Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would like to thank the witnesses for coming and sharing their expertise with us today. Happy Valentine's Day to all of the witnesses and to the members of the committee.
I'd like to follow up a bit on some of the questions that Monsieur Bergeron has asked, because of course we're all very preoccupied with what is happening in Ukraine and the potential for an invasion by Russia. It's interesting to get your perspectives on that.
Does the Canadian government believe that a Russian invasion of Ukraine would make Chinese aggression toward Taiwan more likely? Could you give me a bit of clarity on why or why not that is the case?
