Mr. Chair, Canada will always be a friend of Ukraine and vice-versa. People who trade together do not tend to fight each other. That is a basic principle of trade. It is not just about economic prosperity. It is about foreign relations. It is about relations between two countries like Canada and Ukraine, like Canada and many other countries. Trade is a foundation upon which we can help Ukraine to build its economy and its prosperity. Prosperous people tend to be less cranky than people who are not prosperous.
Anything we can do through our free trade agreements to help the Ukrainian economy to prosper will help the Ukrainian people to be more comfortable and to have a brighter future. That is our aim in all this process.
