There are a few reasons.
My family is an example of the Ukrainian Canadian community. As you said, there are 1.4 million Ukrainian Canadians who have come to Canada. They started coming in 1891. Many of them or their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents lived through tremendous hardship, very often because they wanted to speak the Ukrainian language when they lived in Ukraine and could not, or to practise their religion or have free speech—things we take for granted in Canada.
Many of them faced hardships at the hands of the Russian regime, whether it was the Soviet regime or Russia itself. For them, there's a history of trying to defend Ukrainian heritage and culture, not only for those who have come to Canada recently from Ukraine, but also for generations of Ukrainian Canadians.
Many Ukrainian Canadians—and I'm one of them—attended Saturday schools to learn the Ukrainian language, history and culture. For many years, until 1991, Ukraine was under the Soviet Union. People didn't think they'd see a free and independent Ukraine, and they thought we needed to preserve the language here in Canada for future generations.
My point, to answer your question, sir, is that this is an opportunity to honour the efforts that have been made by Ukrainian Canadians for generations in protecting that heritage and the work they're doing now to support the people of Ukraine, whether that's financially or by advocating with us to make sure that Canada does all it can do to support the people of Ukraine. It's an opportunity, across party lines, for us to show our support for the community given the fact that they continue to support the Ukrainian people in this fight.
