I want to thank my honourable colleague for that question.
I too was troubled by the comments, because it simply hasn't matched anything I heard at every step of the negotiation. Time and again, Ukraine signalled that they were committed to seeing these discussions through to the point where we could land a modernized agreement.
I heard from my Ukrainian counterparts but also directly from President Zelenskyy, when he was here, that the free trade agreement will help form the basis for the reconstruction of Ukraine, following Russia's illegal invasion. I've also heard from business leaders and community leaders in Canada that they want to play an important role in the rebuilding of Ukraine, once they have won this illegal war, and how important a modernized trade agreement will be in helping them to do exactly that.
I'm proud of the fact that this legislation is both comprehensive and ambitious. If Conservatives want to throw around terms like “woke” to try to undermine the relationship with Ukraine, they might want to explain to Canadians why they want to do that.
