Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Ambassador. We appreciate your being with us.
A few weeks ago New Democrats asked the Canadian government to answer questions about a Globe and Mail report that Kyrgyzstan has re-exported Canadian-made electric detonators to Russia. The Liberals have refused to answer this question. If it's true, those Canadian-made detonators are possibly used with land mines and could be used by Russia in their war against Ukraine.
Can you tell us more about the role of Kyrgyzstan in the war and why Canada needs to take the allegations extremely seriously?
