Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to everyone attending here today on this important study. My heart goes out to everyone in Ukraine during this invasion.
The following questions are for Mr. Agnew.
Canada and Ukraine have a rich history, and we've always been supportive of Ukraine's development, economically and politically. In 1991, Canada became the first country in the western hemisphere to recognize Ukraine's independence from the Soviet Union. In 1994, Canada and Ukraine issued a joint declaration highlighting their commitment to strengthening bilateral co-operation, including in relation to international trade.
Here's my question. Considering Canada's long history of and ongoing commitment to supporting Ukraine, do you anticipate any long-term implications for international trade? Can you expand on what these long-term implications would look like and how they will impact it?
Thank you.
