Suggesting that Conservatives, who have an objection to things like promoting carbon pricing and carbon leakage.... Carbon leakage is a far more insidious tool. It would mean that you can't have your carbon price so low as to attract investment into your country. This is exactly what Ukraine does not need. They are going to need investment. Suggesting that this is somehow turning our backs on Ukraine.... The bill is here at committee, and it's about to go back to the House. This is irrelevant.
There are things that have actually been done by the government that have significantly harmed Ukraine, for example the export of a gas turbine that was used by Russia to pump gas, when pumping and selling gas funds Putin's war machine. That is actually hurting Ukraine, and is not a Conservative vote on the trade agreement.
There is now a report out that Canadian detonators are finding their way into Russian land mines and are actually being used in the war. I'm not an expert on war, because I've never served, but I would suggest that the issue of Canadian detonators being in land mines is far more of a betrayal of Ukraine than a Conservative principled opposition vote in the House of Commons.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
