I call this meeting to order. Welcome to meeting number 15 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, the committee is meeting to study Canada's response to Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine.
I would like to welcome our witnesses for the first hour.
From Save Ukraine, we have Mykola Kuleba, chief executive officer, joining us by video conference.
From the Yale School of Public Health humanitarian research lab, we have Caitlin Howarth, director of conflict analytics, appearing in person.
Up to five minutes will be given for opening remarks, after which we will proceed to rounds of questions from members of the committee.
I now invite you to make an opening statement. Welcome.
