Welcome back, everyone.
We will resume our meeting and the study of the situation at the Russia-Ukraine border and implications for peace and security.
I would like to welcome our witnesses. We're very grateful to have Mr. Trevor Kennedy, who's here with us in person. Mr. Kennedy is the vice-president of trade and international policy at the Business Council of Canada. Virtually, we're grateful to have Mr. Normand Mousseau, who is the scientific director of the Trottier Energy Institute and a professor at Université de Montréal. As well, we have Mr. Sylvain Charlebois, who is the director of the agri-food analytics lab and a professor at Dalhousie University.
You will each get five minutes for opening remarks. When you see this phone up, it means you should be wrapping up within 15 to 20 seconds.
We will start off with Mr. Kennedy.
You have five minutes.
