Mr. Speaker, the next petition that I would like to present to the House is in response to the ongoing illegal genocidal invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the Putin regime. The petitioners highlight a number of aspects of this invasion.
This petition was prepared a little while ago, so there have been further developments beyond what is in the petition, but the asks are very clear and very present, and they are extremely important. The petitioners ask that the House stand with the people of Ukraine in the threat facing Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. They want to see decisive action from the international community against the Putin regime. They want consistent sanctions against the regime without the kinds of loopholes that, sadly, we have seen from the government on titanium and other areas. They want to see efforts to boycott Russian oil and gas imports in Canada and Europe, to secure energy agreements with western partners, to increase the supply of military equipment and lethal defensive weapons to protect the territory and human rights of the people of Ukraine, and to provide urgent humanitarian assistance and vital assistance to refugees.
It is sad to see that conflict continuing, and we need to press on for a Ukrainian victory, which is important for their security and for our security.
