Thank you, Madam Chair.
I hear my colleagues on all sides of this. For me, it's important that as we go through this process.... It would mean that basically anyone.... We agree that we fully support welcoming Ukrainians to Canada, those who want to. Listening to the news, we know that individuals who are being interviewed on the ground are saying they are going to stay and fight for the country that they call home. There are many others, as we saw, who have made their way out to various locations of NATO allies where they are being received. Possibly they have chosen to come to Canada and other countries. We're going to welcome those individuals.
For myself, I just want to reiterate the importance of the current system, which seems to generally have worked fairly well for close to 4,000 Ukrainians at this time.
I'm not sure what's going to be decided, but, as expressed here, as we welcome people, we want to also ensure the safety and security of our Canadians. I want to make sure I am on the record for that.
