Thank you, Chair.
Your Excellency, thank you for being here. Ukraine is not just fighting for itself; it is on the front lines of a fight for the security of the entire free world, so I want to thank you and all the people of Ukraine for your heroic courage in this fight. We must be with you for as long as it takes.
I also want to recognize, as you did, the fact that the last time you were here, we were discussing the issue of the Gazprom turbine waiver. You encouraged us to revoke that waiver. Members of all three opposition parties sought to put pressure on the government, and the government did, eventually, reverse course on that.
Thank you for the role you played in that process. I think it shows that a strong parliamentary democracy, in which opposition parties can use the tools we have to put pressure on the government to make actions match rhetoric, is certainly very important.
There are a number of themes I want to hammer through as quickly as I can. First, could you provide us with some specific information on Ukraine's military hardware needs and what else Canada could be doing in terms of supplying critically needed military hardware?
