Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think this is my first opportunity to say congratulations on your becoming chair of this committee. I'm here today to speak to what I'll just read out: That the words “and that this study not take place until the committee makes a decision on the stu

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I was setting the table, I guess you could say, on what brought us to this point. On that note, because we are looking at how important this is, I do want to bring up another issue around Ukraine, which really brings relevance into what we're talking about.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you for those comments. Just for clarification, I hadn't repeated myself at this point, but moving forward for maybe other conversations, that's good to know.

Foreign Affairs committee  Into the record....

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I thank the member opposite for clarification for that one word I had used. Obviously, his experience in this place is showing. I'm really glad that he followed procedure as well without just blurting out comments like he did earlier during this meetin

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I was glad to hear the other member's comment about the Ukrainian interns who we have here. I know that we've seen them around the Hill, so I appreciated his comment. I will just say quickly that the night before the Vyshyvanka Day morning, I asked one of
