Mr. Chair, the hon. member heard this evening that last Friday in Toronto the Prime Minister was awarded the highest honour of Ukrainian Canadian Congress, the Taras Shevchenko award. In response to receiving that award, he said as follows:
So to be clear, our government is very concerned about the path the Government of Ukraine appears to be taking. Tuesday’s developments may have serious consequences for our bilateral relationship. The Ukrainian people can count on Canada to stand-up for their liberty. Canada is always ready to help…to help democratic institutions take root, in Ukraine and around the world.
Could the hon. member tell us if she agrees with those statements by the Prime Minister and if she believes that the people of Ukraine will hear those statements?
