Mr. Speaker, I thank the hard-working member for Souris—Moose Mountain.
Yesterday the Minister of Foreign Affairs expressed Canada's grave concerns with Ukraine government's crackdown on mass protests against its decision to suspend negotiations with the European Union.
Today he will visit the Holodomor monument to pay his respects to those who perished under Soviet tyranny. He will also be visiting Independence Square in support of Canada and Ukraine's shared values of democracy and human rights.
We are proud of our principled approach in these matters. This government continues to stand with the people of Ukraine.
