Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Christie, thank you for being with us.

I'm going to try to speak slowly because I would like good translation.

First, I would like to reiterate that the Conservatives support Ukraine and free trade. I would also like to say that the first free trade agreement was reached under a Conservative government.

We know that the reconstruction of Ukraine will require a huge amount of energy. In your discussions with Ukraine, did you talk about energy?
