I'll share my time with Mr. Whalen.
Thank you for appearing here today. You always provide great testimony. I know that's true of this committee and of the foreign affairs committee as well.
I want to ask about democracy and civil society to understand the nature of civil society approaches in Ukraine a little more.
Supporting democracy is a very important component of the bilateral relationship Canada has with Ukraine. Where is the focus of civil society organizations in Ukraine? Where is this issue of Russia? Where does it rank in its importance? Is it a situation of civil society organizations rallying together and making this their fundamental issue of concern, or is their focus more fragmented and focused on other things?
