Madam Chair, I thank my colleague for his excellent question.
The work of our military cannot be disputed. Canadian soldiers sent to the theatre of operations are professionals who provide high quality training to Ukrainian soldiers.
However, it is important to understand that the deployment of military forces must also send a message. As I said at the beginning of my speech, as a country Canada must send a message to Russia, which is the aggressor in this case.
Therefore, we must support the Ukrainian forces, but Canada must take a stand and show a little more aggressively that we oppose Russia and we are defending our ally, Ukraine.
