Mr. Chair, I want to thank the NDP member across the way. It is not often that everybody in the House will row in the same direction. That is happening tonight, and I know it is going to be happening in the months to follow as we are all committed to seeing democracy, respect for human dignity and the rule of law in Ukraine.
Canada joins many other countries, as do we as parliamentarians. We are world leaders in that respect, working together and challenging Ukraine to do what is right and to be transparent and democratic. As we look at countries throughout the world and the history of the world, we see that countries that are based on democracy and fundamental principles of the rule of law can prosper. If a country does not respect the rule of law and its citizens, that country will not prosper. It is that simple.
We want to see a positive future for Ukraine. We will continue to pull together as parliamentarians and work with other international partners to encourage the Ukraine judiciary to make sure things are done properly and with transparency. The situation with Yulia Tymoshenko hopefully will be reviewed and the right thing will be done, because the opposition cannot be treated in that way.
