Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Ambassador, welcome to the committee. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family and everyone who is in harm's way where you are this evening.
My first question is around Russia. You mentioned Russia's propaganda efforts in your opening statement. Of course, they continue to spread disinformation, not just in Russia, but in all parts of Ukraine. That disinformation has now, obviously, been spread to different parts of the world to try to undermine support for Ukraine and its people in its war effort.
It's working in some sectors, not just with the general population, but with governments. We're seeing that right now. I'm watching very closely your president's visit to the U.S. and his efforts to try to get at some of the conservative Republican members who seem to have bought into that misinformation and disinformation that Russia is spreading across the world.
What can parliamentarians do and what can the Government of Canada do to assist in your efforts to combat that disinformation that's being spread by Putin?
