Yes, I will certainly submit all of those materials to the clerk.
This is a region that is in the process of decoupling from Russian gas dependency. This is because of the EU requirements. The Americans have stepped in and said they want to become the chief LNG provider, not just for the western Balkans but essentially for all of eastern Europe. Unfortunately, the way that is being done is very non-transparent and very questionable. There are, in fact, questions about whether some of these purported companies—I say purported because they're essentially shell companies—may themselves actually have ties to other unsavoury characters. Let's just put it that way.
For Canada, which is such a major LNG producer and is in the process of reinvigorating its relationship with the Europeans as a whole, the western Balkans are a very logical place for Canadian companies and Canadian industry to do business. I'm not going to tell you that the western Balkans are the world's biggest market—they're not—but they are a significant market. They're a market that would certainly grow in significance with credible, transparent investment.
I think it's very logical for Canadian companies to attempt to bid, with the support of the Canadian government, on some of these projects that are emerging in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, North Macedonia and elsewhere.
