Mr. Chair, I would like to thank my colleague for her heartfelt and obviously very well-informed speech. She has been following the issues in this part of the world around Ukraine, Georgia, and Azerbaijan for quite some time and has travelled through there.
I wonder if she would comment on how different these kinds of tragedies are now, in the age of social media. Many in my own office and many across Canada were following not just day by day but hour by hour as things progressed in the Maidan.
It appears that it will be important that we, as members of this assembly, and the government not only reach out to the people of Ukraine but that we perhaps also use our social media resources and contacts with our previous Ukrainian interns and any contacts we have in Ukraine to let them know that the people of Canada are watching and are here for them. Simply communicating will probably be invaluable.
