Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his passion and determination to see that we do support the people of Ukraine and, to that end, talk about the need for action.
Clearly the people have taken action. They have done it in a way in which people in the past with democratic beliefs challenged authoritarian regimes: with peaceful modality. Violence against the people of Ukraine is clearly something we all have to be critical of, and also we must say what we would do. To that end, I would like to know if my colleague will join with others who have said they are willing to have targeted sanctions on the individuals who are responsible for these heinous actions.
I would ask the member if he has brought this forward within his own caucus. I know his passion is clear on the issue. My question is: Has he brought this forward to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, as we have on this side, to bring in targeted sanctions to ensure we are going to take action when it comes to the government of Ukraine?
