Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being with us today, Your Excellency. It's nice to see you. Congratulations on your new position.
Just to follow up on what my colleague Mr. Bergeron has said, it would be very important, I think, for this committee to visit Ukraine, to be able to go to Kyiv. I know that what I saw when I was there in March has fundamentally strengthened my resolve to support Ukraine, which was already an extraordinarily strong resolve.
We've talked a bit about the fact that Ukraine requires military support. We also know that there are some limitations on the military support that Canada can provide. We are not, as Madam Fry said, a well-equipped military, but what we are known for is our demining efforts, and we do know that right now Ukraine is one of the most mined countries in the world. We know that it is a huge deterrent to making progress, particularly in the southern parts of Ukraine.
Can you talk a bit about the support that Canada has provided, and then what more support Canada could provide with regard to demining? We do have this expertise, and this is something that Canada could be increasing our support for.
