Your Excellency President Zelenskyy, Prime Minister, Speaker Gagné, party leaders, hon. members, distinguished guests, welcome to this momentous event, the second joint address to Parliament by His Excellency Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine.
On behalf of my colleagues, we are honoured for your visit. As we come together under one roof, we take a moment to celebrate the friendship and shared values of our countries. We celebrate our people and the history of co-operation between Canada and Ukraine, and we celebrate solidarity.
I will now invite the Right Hon. Prime Minister to speak.
