Mr. Chair, I do not think we can emphasize the urgency of the matter at hand.
We have the BBC, for example, just 15 minutes ago reporting on how thousands of police officers are now going into Kiev, into the square, against the protestors. Canada can and should play somewhat of a role in terms of demonstrating leadership in terms of bringing other nations together to try to put pressure on restraint, to challenge the Ukrainian president to pull back and allow protestors the opportunity to express themselves.
What we are seeing taking place, as we speak here in the House, is not acceptable behaviour for a country that wants to have rule of law, democracy and to be positive on human rights.
Does the member believe that the Government of Canada should become more aggressive in terms of working with other world leaders, other nations, to try to put more pressure on those in power in Ukraine to try to ensure that the people of Ukraine are in fact not going to be taken advantage of while having peaceful protests? They are fighting today for their freedoms, but it seems that the local police forces want to step on those freedoms.
