Foreign Affairs committee  Yes, it absolutely does.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thank you, Ms. Bendayan. I think your question is absolutely spot-on, and it's incredibly important that we maintain unity. Obviously, as I said earlier, the success that Ukraine will need to have in order to win the war and restore full territorial integrity and sovereignty ov

Foreign Affairs committee  This suggests that the technology-calibrated sanctions that have been put in place against dual-use technologies are working. Russia is now having to look to other authoritarian nations—Tehran and Pyongyang, among others—to backfill its military equipment. This is why we need to

Foreign Affairs committee  We have to look back at the broader sanctions regime on both oil and gas. When you look at gas, in particular, one of the arguments is that, just like oil, they could just sell this elsewhere, right? Well, no. Gas is not as fungible globally as oil, at least not yet, although the

Foreign Affairs committee  I would say that Canada should continue to lead the charge on increasing sanctions. I will come back to energy and say that other areas that need to increase are ship-to-ship transfer technology sanctions. There is a significant amount of oil transfer that's going on several hund

Foreign Affairs committee  Yes.

Foreign Affairs committee  Thanks so much. That's an excellent question. The bottom line is that Russia has been weaponizing energy for many years. This has a wide definition. First of all, there are the overt gas cuts that we can see have happened dozens of times over the years. I can supply the committ

Foreign Affairs committee  That's an incredibly prescient question. It's something we'll have to monitor over the next several weeks and months. The bottom line is it's one thing to have storage—you absolutely need to have this storage built up as high as possible before the winter—but there also have to

Foreign Affairs committee  No, they're not. The bottom line is we have to have policies that are based on science and technology that undergird our decision-making. Simply to set up this scenario in which we're pushing back on disinformation to call someone's bluff...the fact of the matter is that the Germ

Foreign Affairs committee  I'll say just one line. One of the biggest threats outside of Ukraine and outside of the conflict directly is losing western support, which we absolutely can't do. We have to make sure that western support is maintained so that Ukraine is supported with all of the weapons and all

Foreign Affairs committee  I think Canada can play a major role here. Obviously increasing the amount of export infrastructure on Canada's Atlantic coast is incredibly important as well as using the St. Lawrence Seaway to the greatest extent possible potentially to bring LNG through the Great Lakes. Again,

Foreign Affairs committee  Like a lot of the G7 members that are producers, including the United States and others, Canada needs to make sure that global democracies are making our energy resources available to Europe as quickly as possible. I do want to point out on the German side that they're doing a n

Foreign Affairs committee  Hello and bonjour, Chair Ehsassi, Vice-Chair Bergeron and distinguished members of the Canadian Parliament. Thank you and merci for the opportunity to speak today about supporting Europe’s energy security. My name is Benjamin L. Schmitt. I'm an astrophysics researcher at Harvard
