Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the witnesses for being here.
I want to pull the lens away from Venezuela for a moment and look at the Venezuelan neighbourhood, the immediate reactions to the January operation and whether there's been an evolution. I know there's been some discussion about the ways and means of the removal of Maduro from office, which may be different from the results of moving him away from the office.
I'd like to focus on Brazil, Colombia and perhaps Guyana as neighbours. What were their initial reactions? Has there been any evolution in those responses? Is Canada in discussion and collaboration with the neighbours as they're responding?
That could be for either you or Mr. Savage. Both of you would probably be aware of these issues.
