Mr. Chair, I thank the hon. member for his question. Like me, he is a member of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
It is an interesting idea, but, as always, there is no magic solution. I said in my speech that sustainable and fair economic development rests on a foundation of good governance, and corruption must be eradicated. We have discussed the reinforcement of military capacity, but other areas also need to be strengthened, for instance the ministry of finance and the entire government structure. There is no magic bullet. Simply saying that we will sign an agreement and do business will not suddenly make everything right. The situation is more complex than that. I believe the Ukrainians themselves are asking for Canada's help in all these sectors. There is also a need to construct the infrastructure on which a fair and sustainable economy can be built.
