That's perfect. Thank you, and thank you to the witnesses.
I'd like to begin with my questions for Mr. Kolga. I sit on national defence, as well, and you're a familiar face at that committee.
Over the last couple of days, as a member of national defence, I've also met with delegates from numerous eastern European nations, including Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Moldova. All of them have reiterated the importance of a strong military in the face of Russian aggression.
In your opinion, how important is it for a country to also have a strongly defined sanctions regime to help hold the aggressor nations accountable and our country safe?
