Thank you, Your Excellency. Thank you for your strong engagement. Thank you for indicating how important it is that all parties here be very unified in support—I think you have this—and how important it is that this translates into international forums.
You made a number of statements in your opening around the kinds of additional support—resources and sanctions—that I want to stand behind and associate myself with as an MP with a significant Ukrainian Canadian and also Ukrainian community, with nationals who are in our part of Toronto as a result of the illegal war and occupation.
I also want to thank you for your engagement with the Ukrainian community at the recent Triennial Congress of Ukrainian Canadians.
With that preamble, I want to ask a couple of questions that are not associated directly with your remarks but I think are important to get some further information from you.
First, Canada's response to Russia's illegal invasion also involves support for Ukrainian nationals here in Canada, with a special visa and with other measures. Could you speak to what is needed right now to support those Ukrainian nationals who, because of this illegal war, are here in Canada?
