Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I want to thank all of the witnesses for the very important testimony they're providing.
I want to specifically address some questions to Mr. Shevchenko.
Andriy, first of all, duzhe dyakuyu. It's great to see you. Thank you for being here. I wish we were seeing you in different circumstances, my friend. Thank you for all of your service on behalf of Ukraine here in Canada and the important work you did over many years as the ambassador of Ukraine here. I very thoroughly enjoyed working with you.
You mentioned that Ukraine is the country of brains and grains. I would add “brawn” as a third moniker, Andriy, to give it a natural hat trick. It's a country of brains, brawn and grain. Clearly, you've shown with your courage what your country is capable of in terms of standing up to Russia. You have our unanimous view that is similar to yours about Bucha. We just passed a unanimous consent motion in today's Parliament about the massacre at Bucha.
Andriy, you know that we've been stepping up in ways that I thought I'd never see, to be candid, in terms of incredible military assistance; an immigration program; humanitarian aid; sanctions against no less than 700 entities and individuals, including Putin and his inner circle, including Belarusians; aspects of the SWIFT system—the list is long.
What I want to ask you about is in terms of taking this next step with the trade agreement. You mentioned ICT a couple of times. Where can we specifically harness that? I know what I learned in the time I was there and you entertained me and others in 2018. There were such things as cyberwarfare, the knowledge that you have on the ground in the IT sector and how to deal with cybersecurity in Ukraine. Is there potential collaboration that we could see in that area with the expansion of CUFTA?
It's over to you, Andriy.
