Thank you, Mr. Ambassador.
It may be that one of the GAC officials could answer this question with regard to sanctions. I know that the Minister of Foreign Affairs has been saying all along that Canada needs to be in lockstep with our allies. I have to say at the outset that I am commending the incredible efforts of our allies to bring in very strong sanctions, but there are a couple of issues where there's a bit of daylight. I'm wondering if I could get an explanation for that.
For example, Vladimir Putin's son-in-law, Kirill Shamalov, a wealthy Russian oligarch in his own right, was sanctioned by the U.K., Australia and the United States, but not by Canada. Alena Georgieva, the chairwoman of a bank owned by a Russian arms manufacturer, was also on allied lists but not ours. I'm wondering if you could give an explanation as to why.
