Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Waschuk, we heard quite a bit about natural gas here. Outside of committee, too, I hear people saying we have to cancel the new Nord Stream 2. The same people also continue to say we should ban the entire Russian dependence on natural gas by Europe. Here we have witnesses saying Canadian gas is available to service Ukraine and Europe.
Mr. Potoczny says that Ukraine has its own natural gas deposit that has to be developed. My understanding is that Ukraine is earning a couple of billion dollars or more on the transfer of natural gas through its territory to Europe.
Tell me, what is feasible with respect to natural gas? In five to 10 years' time, is it practical to ban natural gas, because Ukraine is already earning money out of it? What do you say on all this natural gas talk?
