On Monday, January 31, 2022, the committee adopted the following motion:

That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Foreign Affairs and International Development Committee undertake a study on the escalating situation at the Russia-Ukraine border that risks peace and security in the region, the Government of Canada’s support for our allies in Ukraine and the path to Ukraine’s accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as reaffirmed at the 2021 NATO Brussels Summit; that the committee hold a minimum of four meetings on this study, including two meetings to hear from witnesses, including the Ukrainian Canadian Congress, and two meetings to receive briefings from officials concerning the situation, that the first of these meetings take place on February 3, 2022; and that subsequent meetings be held on an as-needed basis due to the fluid situation.
