International Trade  Mr. Speaker, Ukrainians have a word for the Conservative position on the Canada-Ukraine free trade agreement. It is “nisenitnytsya”, or nonsense. It is nonsense to call this agreement “woke”. It is nonsense to not stand up for Ukraine sovereignty. It is nonsense to suggest that

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, President Zelenskyy himself asked for Canada to negotiate a progressive, strong, excellent free trade agreement. We have modernized it, and we have done that. The only party in this House that voted against Ukraine is the Conservative Party of Canada. On this side o

Automotive Industry  Mr. Speaker, I am grateful for the question by the hon. member for Etobicoke Centre. I thank him for his advocacy.

Carbon Pricing  Mr. Speaker, in the House, Conservatives had a choice. They had a choice to vote in favour of the Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement. Instead, they are the only party in the House that did not do that. In fact, they have made the issue of the environment a red herring. Even Uk

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, the only ones who are not supporting Ukraine are the Conservatives. Let us be clear. The Canada-Ukraine free trade deal does not impose a price on pollution on Ukraine. Why is that? It is because Ukraine already has a price on pollution. It has had it since—

International Trade  Ukraine can fight the war and fight climate change. We are here to support it because the Conservatives are not.

International Trade  Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Etobicoke Centre for his steadfast and unwavering support for a free and democratic Ukraine.

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, in the other agreements, governments have the right to regulate within their jurisdictions. That is not different for this agreement.

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, Canada is the first country to have a comprehensive and progressive free-trade agreement with Ukraine. It is going to set the framework for Canadian companies, exporters and investors to very much be a part of the reconstruction when Ukraine wins the war. We have hea

Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement Implementation Act, 2023  Mr. Speaker, one of the things that I am really proud about in this agreement are the highest standards in environmental protections of any trade agreement that we have on record today.
