Mr. Chair, I sincerely thank my colleague from Edmonton—Strathcona for her comments.
With the type of revolution we have seen in the Ukraine, it is obvious that revolutions have changed forever because of the advent of social media. In fact, there is far more access to information now.
My colleague was saying that the events on the weekend were reported hour by hour, even minute by minute or second by second. I was able to watch live what was happening in Independence Square, the speeches that were given and the excitement.
It is extremely important to communicate with them, to show them that they are not alone and that they have the unwavering support of a country like Canada.
As we are talking about social media, which makes me think of my generation, I would like to talk about something I have mentioned several times this evening and in the past. One of our priorities should be to make it easier for Ukrainians to obtain student visas. In fact, bringing young people to Canada is one of the best possible ways to ensure that democracy will grow in Ukraine.
