It's absolutely true. Ukraine has told us that this comprehensive trade agreement, which has what they call in trade circles “high standards”, will really serve as a model for them as they pursue agreements with other countries.
This isn't new. Canada has taken a lead on supporting Ukraine right from the get-go. When we say we're going to stand shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine, it isn't just in humanitarian assistance or supporting their military efforts. It really is also supporting the economic reconstruction when that is able to happen.
I hope we can really demonstrate a team Canada approach. As I said in my opening remarks, I think we can rise to this challenge and collaborate in support of Ukraine. It would be terrific if we work very hard to get this bill through the House and into the Senate for ratification.
