Agriculture committee  I don't have information about where exactly these products would be coming from. I think when you hear from the deputy minister, he'll be able to answer those questions.

Agriculture committee  Our position on Canadian tariffs on Ukrainian goods is that for the time that Ukraine is suffering under a genocidal war, we believe that it is helpful to Ukraine for Canada to lift those tariffs and allow for freer imports of Ukrainian goods. In terms of the issue we're talkin

Foreign Affairs committee  I will answer quickly. A week or more ago we wrote again to Minister Joly to make the point that now is the time to cancel this waiver. We have not yet heard back from the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs. We will follow up. Should we hear something, we will of course b

Foreign Affairs committee  Germany is providing weapons to Ukraine. It is providing them at a pace that is not the pace we would like to see. Any of your engagements with your German counterparts in the Bundestag that would get them to put pressure on the German government to speed up these deliveries woul

Foreign Affairs committee  Very quickly—

Foreign Affairs committee  Very quickly, with regard to your earlier question about the pipeline, the Ukrainian pipeline is working at the same 40% capacity that it was. With regard to your question about Minister Joly and Minister Wilkinson's reasoning, we respectfully disagree. With regard to your que

Foreign Affairs committee  I would say, first of all, that Nord Stream 2 was completed. Many people said at the time that its completion would make a larger Russian invasion of Ukraine far more likely, which is what transpired. Weeks after the completion of Nord Stream 2, the full-out invasion was launched

Foreign Affairs committee  No. I think you've covered it.

Foreign Affairs committee  To clarify, the pipeline that goes through Ukraine is not owned by Gazprom. It's owned by the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian transit systems. That is one of the advantages of it: The ability to manipulate it the way Gazprom manipulates Nord Stream 1 is not quite as appare

Foreign Affairs committee  My understanding—and I will check on this and get back to you—is that that pipeline is also not delivering gas, as part of Peskov's statement. I have to check on that. I don't know what the state of it is today. I don't want to say something that's not accurate. I will find that

Foreign Affairs committee  I don't know what Russia would have done if we hadn't waived the sanctions. I presume that had we not waived the sanctions on Russia, Russia still would not be delivering gas to Germany, so we're at the same place we were, except that we've waived sanctions on Russia. We've gaine

Foreign Affairs committee  They can make up whatever they want. If the point is to take away arguments from the Russian disinformation war, then I don't want to know where that ends, because they're just going to make more stuff up.

Foreign Affairs committee  I honestly don't really understand the reasoning.

Foreign Affairs committee  That is a decision that we hope the President will review and take another look at. In the U.S. Congress there is wide support for this designation. A Senate resolution passed unanimously. We all know our friends down south; the U.S. Senate doesn't pass anything unanimously, but

Foreign Affairs committee  I'm not sure why the government hasn't responded to those calls. We've seen several countries in Europe expel numerous Russian diplomats. We've not seen Canada expel any Russian diplomats since February. Added to that, there was a fairly disturbing incident about a month ago, w
