Mr. Chair, I would agree that it has been a reversal. Many of us in this Parliament have Ukrainian interns working in our offices. I have asked them if they expected this to happen. They said no. They said they had been watching it closely but had no idea that this was going to be happening. When we were there a year ago, there was no idea that this kind of serious situation would be arising.
We encourage the Ukrainian judiciary to do what is right. The world is encouraging them. There were letters written from the Canada-Ukraine Parliamentary Friendship Group, from the government, and I am sure from many in this Parliament encouraging them to do the right thing. Now we find Yulia Tymoshenko sentenced to seven years in jail.
She cannot serve. That is just not right. We encourage the right thing to be done.
