Mr. Chair, I thank my hon. colleague for the question. As several members have already said, there are various things Canada can do through its free trade agreements. It is extremely important for Canada to respect human rights and the separation of the judiciary and the executive. There are many things we can do to help the people. The people who want things to change want democracy, and we can support them in their fight for a freer and more democratic Ukraine. There are plenty of things we can do in that regard. For instance, we can encourage students, young people, to learn more about western countries like Canada. The various programs that invite Ukrainian students to come to our Parliament are an extraordinary way to help them learn about our democratic system and our country's institutions. These are excellent ways to help democracy in Ukraine.
