Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to reiterate how important it is for Canada to hurry a delegation of parliamentarians to Kyiv. I guess that I am misusing the word “hurry” here because we have not been too much in a hurry until now. Canada claims to be Ukraine’s closest ally. Yet we have yet to set foot there. Despite security concerns, parliamentarians from just about every allied country have already visited.
Excellency, I would like to come back to the functioning of the embassy. I know that there is perhaps less demand today, but are we going to go back to processing visa applications in Kyiv instead of forcing Ukrainians out of their country to apply for visas to come to Canada?
