Thank you very much again to all our witnesses here today. I apologize that I wasn't here for the first part, but it seems to have been fascinating.
We're investigating today and it seems increasingly clear from the testimony we've heard that Canada has the product, the technology, if not yet the infrastructure, to help Ukraine lessen the pressure that Russia is exerting on it as its primary supplier of gas, particularly by raising gas prices. I think the last story I read said gas prices have gone up by 81% in recent weeks. In fact, The Globe and Mail filed a story 36 minutes ago about Gazprom saying that its gas exports to Europe could be disrupted. It's not clear whether this is as a result of or as a response to western sanctions. I think that does put Europe in a slightly precarious position.
Mr. Langrish mentioned that the architecture is there now, the rules are there, and Canadians are well-placed to be able to supply gas to Europe. I think it's sort of a timeframe issue and we're trying to narrow down where we have benefits and where we may have challenges. I'm wondering if I can ask Mr. Sorensen, first of all, then Mr. Salkeld.
