Thank you to the witnesses.
There has been a lot of talk, of course, about the increase of the provision of lethal weaponry from Canada and the potential for that. Of course, some New Democrats are not for that. We want to find the most diplomatic, the most peaceful, deterrent way forward.
Could both witnesses talk about why some of those diplomatic ways forward have not been successful thus far? I tend to believe—and if this is true, it would be great to hear it from the witnesses as well—that Canada has failed to provide the supports that it needs to in terms of the diplomatic corps and in terms of the international aid that it needs to, so that we find ourselves down many years into more of a crisis than we need to be.
Just for the sake of time, could you could also answer this question? With that ask for lethal weaponry from Canada, it has been suggested that there are planeloads.... I think Ihor said that he lost track of the planeloads of ammunition that have been received or sent by the U.S. and the U.K. Why is that not enough? Clearly, the United States and the Brits have far more capacity than Canada to provide that lethal weaponry. Why is that not enough?
