Thank you, Chair.
Ambassador Plakhotniuk, we're most honoured to have you here today.
Today, in the House, we were debating Bill S-210, an act to designate a Ukrainian heritage month in Canada. We're doing our bit in an official capacity to recognize that outside of Russia, Canada, I believe, has the largest diaspora of Ukrainians anywhere in the world. We have a long and close relationship, and that includes me, as I have Ukrainian heritage. This means an awful lot to me and the 1.4 million Canadians who share a Ukrainian heritage.
As my first question for you today, Ambassador, what areas of Canadian military assistance, in your estimation, have been most valuable to this point to Ukraine, and where do you see the future opportunities for deeper co-operation? We touched on that just at the end of the last comment.
