Foreign Affairs committee  Absolutely.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon, everyone. I very much welcome this opportunity to discuss Peru and Canada's perspectives on the current situation. For a number of years, Peru has witnessed what can be best described as dynamic politics, at times even volatile. S

International Trade committee  Madam Chair, I'll attempt a bit of a response and then a colleague could join. In terms of your specific question about people, I would defer to colleagues from Canada Border Services Agency and perhaps IRCC on the management of the people flow. What I can say is that with the U

International Trade committee  Thank you very much. I can answer that. First and foremost, the fact that it was in the legislation did come as a surprise to us in terms of the details favouring U.S. manufacturing. The fact that the Biden administration is in favour of promoting EV vehicles wasn't a surprise,

International Trade committee  On both issues, I can tell you that it was part of our engagement across the board. I can't speak to your specific reference in terms of the comments you heard, but I can say that for a number of years, Keystone had been a key item that was raised both in and outside of Washingto

International Trade committee  My response will be the same. As soon as we realized that this was in this legislation, we began a full-court press. In fact, depending on which way the legislation goes.... Right now, it's off to the side. There are mechanisms for changing that legislation, so we will remain v

International Trade committee  One of my colleagues might have a comment on the impact. All I can say is that we will remain engaged to prevent this from happening. Arun, did you want to comment?

International Trade committee  Unfortunately, the number I have is from 2020. It was $614 billion in two-way trades in goods and services.

International Trade committee  Madam Chair, if I may, I'd be happy to respond.

International Trade committee  Indeed, on the EV matter, there have literally been hundreds of meetings, and as you can imagine, not just from the Prime Minister and ministers who have travelled to Washington and who were engaged over the phone, but also from our embassy in Washington, D.C., and from our netwo

International Trade committee  Not at this moment, but I'm sure that is something we can provide through the chair.

International Trade committee  What I can say generally is that in the minister's meetings with her counterpart and with members of Congress, all aspects of the auto industry and the importance of moving forward have been raised. I would note that coming out of the summit that was held in November, between the

Foreign Affairs committee  As a foreign ministry, first and foremost, Global Affairs is always open to hearing from Canadians on foreign policy priorities, whether it comes in at officials or at the political level, and I think actually Ambassador Carrière, in Port-au-Prince, is probably on the front line

Foreign Affairs committee  The first thing that would come to mind is what we saw a couple of weeks ago. It has been quite a while since we've had a broad international meeting on Haiti. Yes, there's the Core Group, and yes, there are some bodies in the UN, but that meeting brought together quite a number

Foreign Affairs committee  Briefly, the challenges in Haiti are quite extreme, so for Canada, whether it's on an annual basis or in an extraordinary year, we're looking at where we can make the most difference. For many years, we've been working on food security and in the health sector. Clearly the challe
