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 meeting. He did follow procedure, so thank you very much, Mr. Chair, for keeping order and keeping everyone on track. I will move on.
I had mentioned earlier that we're looking at this subamendment. For the subcommittee to decide on this subamendment, I think it would be important to explain to whoever is part of that group—if this vote does happen and it does go in that direction—about the topics they are going to be discussing and which would be the most important topics to this committee. I think it's relevant to talk about the three different studies that are before this committee, so that the subcommittee can really ascertain from the members here clearly which ones would be of most importance since that conversation may not happen at the greater committee here.
That's really what we're talking about. If that subamendment does go through, that conversation will happen separately. It won't happen at the greater committee here.
It's important for those members to have an idea what the priorities would be from those of us who are here in these chairs. That's what the context is of my conversation today, in order to let those committee members know, if that's the way it goes, what would be imperative.
I am subbing on this committee for one of my honourable colleagues. I do appreciate that opportunity. I do have an interest in this topic from sitting on international trade for a time. Of course, there is a lot of crossover between trade and foreign affairs, so it's good to have some of that context as we're coming into this.
We do have these three studies that will be considered as priority. I want to let that potential subcommittee know the one that I think would be of real importance right now. The headlines all day right now are about Ukraine. It is something that affects every single one of our communities, I'm sure.
We have on the Hill young Ukrainian interns who are being supported by all parties. We actually had Vyshyvanka Day here on the Hill. Many of us met up with them right in Parliament. We had a picture taken. For those of us who don't have a traditional shirt, which I didn't, it was really great that one of my colleagues brought some extras. I was able to borrow one in order to take that picture. In fact, I actually wasn't going to come that morning because I didn't have a shirt, but I ran into some of the interns the night before and they were just so wonderful. We had great conversations and they encouraged me to come to the Vyshyvanka morning to have a picture taken, so I am glad that I did—
