Thank you, Chair, and thank you to both of our witnesses for being here today.
I'd like to start with Mr. Kolga.
Mr. Kolga, welcome back to our committee. I have a two-part question, Mr. Kolga. Can you speak about how Russia uses transnational repression to discourage dissent and exert control over individuals living in Canada?
The second part to that is, how can we, as legislators, better protect diaspora communities from these forms of control and coercion?
