Mr. Chair, as many members are aware, over the weekend we had a convention, with more than 3,000 people from across Canada, where an emergency resolution was introduced. There was support for and discussion about Ukraine. One could sense that people wanted to see change happen and wanted the Canadian government to take action.
I just want to make three quick references to what that delegation passed. The first was that Canada call for an observer mission of at least 500 Canadians, led by a preeminent Canadian, to help oversee the election. Second was that the international community take all necessary steps to ensure that any and all human rights violations in Ukraine are properly investigated, and, as appropriate, prosecuted. Third was that the Government of Canada call upon the IMF to urgently meet with the new Ukrainian leadership to provide economic support and to develop a new plan.
Does the member recognize that there is a great need for us to take specific action? Hopefully, we will get some ideas here this evening. Would she not agree?
