Mr. Chair, I thank my colleague for his question. Two years ago, a Ukrainian student worked for my office. He came from Ukraine and we stayed in contact. He is now in the United States.
This is important. Why? People, especially young people, in Ukraine are discouraged. They do not want to be part of the political process. Why not? Because becoming a member of parliament takes millions and millions of dollars. Bribes have to be paid. There is widespread corruption. As a result, the youth are not interested in politics. If more young people came to Canada to learn how things worked, they could take our values back home with them and try to rebuild their country.
