Thank you.
It's great to see you, Ambassador Rae. It was always a privilege to serve with you in the House of Commons.
Ambassador, I think the whole world is deeply concerned about the nuclear threat. I have a two-part question for you. First, what is your analysis of Mr. Putin's nuclear statement? Second, given that Canada has refused to join the nuclear ban treaty, might this be an opportune time for Canada to rethink that position, in your view?
