I just want to point out to the committee that there were 13 Canadians who were put on that first list, who were banned from Russia. Twelve of us were parliamentarians who were very involved, from all parties, in denouncing Russia's aggression in Ukraine. I want to point out that Mr. Grod was put on the list just because he represents the Ukrainian community here in Canada. He was put on the list based on his ethnicity. That to me is deplorable, and that is exactly what Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin did.
Mr. Grod, would you agree—it's been said a number of times—that Putin is provoked by weakness? Do you agree with that statement?
