Procedure and House Affairs committee To back up what Jars was saying, the communities have used the Ukrainian Jewish Encounter and other academic mechanisms to try to work together.

Procedure and House Affairs committee We were asked to provide community members for an event in Toronto, which we did. There was no reason that anybody who would be a donor or a community volunteer or a participant would be excluded from that kind of list.

Ihor Michalchyshyn
Procedure and House Affairs committee Vladimir Putin is raising it over and over again. We see certain media raising it, as Jars has said. We think that the whole way that the Speaker proceeded on this needs to be reviewed as you are reviewing it. Unfortunately, we're being pulled, along with other communities, into

Procedure and House Affairs committee He's written us a letter to apologize for it, so I believe, from what he's written to us, that he's taking responsibility for it.

Ihor Michalchyshyn
Procedure and House Affairs committee No, I have not received that kind of letter from them.
March 21st, 2024Committee meeting
Ihor Michalchyshyn
Procedure and House Affairs committee There are a lot of questions in there. I want to go back to something that Jars was speaking about, the Ukrainian Jewish Encounter, which is another community function, another community group, that's working on it.

Procedure and House Affairs committee There are a lot of questions in there that you've asked me.

Ihor Michalchyshyn
Procedure and House Affairs committee The question I was answering earlier was about the event that took place in Toronto on Friday night. The UCC was asked to provide a large number of people to attend a rally as part of that event. We had no involvement. We have never spoken to the Speaker's office or to the Hunka

Ihor Michalchyshyn
Procedure and House Affairs committee For the Toronto rally—which was not Parliament—we were just asked to identify community organizations, leaders and people who had been involved in various positions. I have no insight into who was invited to Parliament or not.
