Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the witnesses for being here today.
I'd like to start off with Mr. Mendes.
I perused your biography, and I'm aware that you have been an adviser to the United Nations. There's a nexus here that we're talking about with respect to the domestic aspect of what Canada is doing, but also internationally.
We know that Russia and other countries hold Security Council seats.
How do you suggest that we, as a nation, work with the international community to constrain Russia so that the impacts of this conflict are not felt here on domestic soil? We know about many of the impacts, such as increases in gas prices, etc. Could you comment on that briefly, please?
