Mr. Chair, we appreciate that most members in this House are supportive of the government's position and we need to do more in the areas of ensuring we have all the diplomatic levers at our disposal.
There is the potential that the Minsk peace agreement completely falls apart and the possibility that we see increased activity by Russia-backed separatists. We know that it is Russians in there and I am hoping that the member for Ottawa Centre will concur that it is Russian soldiers, Russian equipment, Russian command and control, along with some mercenaries who have been hired in, who are actually doing the push toward Mariupol now, trying to grab more territory in eastern Ukraine.
In light of this, I want the member to shed some light on where he would go from a diplomatic lever standpoint, but also how he feels about Canada's continued support for the Ukrainian armed forces.
