Mr. Chair, I know that for medical reasons the member for Toronto Centre is not able to be with us. I know this has been a very important issue for her and I would like to put a question to the member. It is related to the very important world banking industry. I would like to get a sense from the member of what his thoughts are.
There have been suggestions that there needs to be some dialogue. To what degree could he provide the House with whether the government has had any dialogue on the issue of the possibility of banning Russia from the SWIFT banking system? I recognize the important role Canada has to play in leadership and looking at consensus. Is this one of the things the government is having discussions on?
