Mr. Chair, I thank my colleague for his speech. I would like him to tell us about the humanitarian aspect of this war. From the bits of information we have been getting, we know that the Ukrainian people are holding the line and protecting their cities thanks to their extraordinary courage and amazing ability to mobilize. Those cities are currently under siege, however, which raises the spectre of a humanitarian crisis. I would like to know how the government plans to get help to people on the ground. Can it work with the Red Cross, perhaps? At this point, I would like to ask if the government is planning to raise the $10‑million cap for matching donations to the Red Cross. My priority is really the humanitarian crisis in the cities. What is the government planning to do about that?
