Mr. Chair, I, along with the member, was privileged to be part of the defence committee delegation that was in Washington, D.C., two weeks ago. What was most striking to me was the assurances we received no matter whom we met with. People felt that Putin would challenge President Trump, that he was certain to challenge him. From almost everyone who was asked more specifically from where that challenge would come, the answer was Ukraine. Therefore, I am glad we are having this debate tonight.
Does the member for Selkirk—Interlake—Eastman share my concern that we really need to step up both the actual support and our diplomatic support for Ukraine in the face of this expected Russian challenge that will come to Trump in Ukraine?
