Foreign Affairs committee  We have that very list put together by Mr. Navalny. As Ambassador Rae mentioned, we are still working with our allies and partners on potential targets that could help bring significant pressure to bear on the Russian regime. We have not exhausted all of our measures, but I woul

Foreign Affairs committee  Given the shortness of time, I think Heidi has answered that very adequately.

Foreign Affairs committee  Let me begin, and then I'll pass it over to General Prévost. We have been working very closely with the United States on Arctic issues more broadly. It's one of the key elements of the road map that we have with the United States. We do that on a range of issues, but I know you'

Foreign Affairs committee  As my colleague was about to say, when Minister Joly visited Ukraine, even the threat of instability was already having a significant impact on the economy. Obviously, an invasion will have all kinds of grave consequences. That's in part why we've already announced an offer of

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Chair, the question of energy is an extremely important one as we look at putting in place measures that will bite into Russia. Clearly there are measures that will affect Russia. It will also have an important bounce-back on our allies in Europe. This issue was raised when M

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Chair, certainly Russia's campaign of disinformation and propaganda is well known and well developed. We've certainly seen it active in Ukraine, and we see it active in neighbouring countries. As you'll note from the announcement of just a few days ago, Canada intends to su

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think that our action, in concert with our allies—the United States, the U.K. and the European Union—of putting sanctions in place on Russia has been a very strong message from the international community. Russia's actions are unacceptable in Crimea. Th

Foreign Affairs committee  Certainly, and we've been aware for quite some time that there is a strong and growing relationship between China and Russia. There is a complicity of authoritarian regimes very much in counterpoint to our own democracies. We're conscious of the relationship between China and Rus

Foreign Affairs committee  I think we're very attentive to the geostrategic implications of what's happening in Ukraine.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. The approach that we are taking right now is to focus on diplomacy as the primary track. That is the way that the situation is going to be resolved. It depends very much on our having a strong and unified position with our allies and for putting, visible to

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm very pleased to say that there is, in fact, a great deal of action under way in support of Ukraine right now. The function of that team is already in place. We have close coordination across government with Global Affairs and across a number of division

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Chair, thank you for the opportunity to clarify how the sovereign loan program works. I can assure the chair that the sovereign loan cannot be used for weapons or military purposes. I can also explain a little bit about the process for the loan, which will give some comfort

Transport committee  To be clear, there has been no formal offer and no formal rejection. What we've seen is media commentary made by Iran to attract attention to their position. While these negotiations are ongoing and we can't discuss details, I can assure you that there is strong coordination amon

Transport committee  We have regular communication with the families at a variety of levels. You have heard that Minister Garneau and Minister Alghabra have been in touch directly with families. Through the task force, which Ms. Cameron leads, we have regular exchanges with families through writing a

Transport committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I think what we will be doing in our engagement on this issue going forward is to use every single opportunity we have to gain leverage to pressure Iran to provide the justice and accountability we've been talking about since January 8 a year ago.
