Mr. Speaker, on February 22, the Liberal government intervened to have Bill C-331, the Ukrainian Canadian recognition and restitution bill, struck from the order paper.
The Liberals questioned the judgment of the Chair on the issue of restitution, despite an earlier reading.
I was proud to second the bill tabled by the member for Dauphin—Swan River—Marquette.
Canada's Ukrainian community has waited 20 years for redress. What is the Liberal government afraid of? Are they afraid of acknowledging Canada's past history and the injustices done to those interned during the first world war?
Bill C-331 belongs to the one million Canadians of Ukrainian descent. They expect the House to have the courage to debate it.
