Mr. Speaker, the events taking place right now at the Russia-Ukraine border are disturbing to all Canadians who care about world peace. Unfortunately, Canada's reputation has been tarnished. In today's edition of La Presse, a diplomat posted abroad was extremely critical of the Canadian government's actions. She described its approach as amateurish, bordering on complacent, and said it is not taking this seriously. When will the Canadian government and the Prime Minister take the current tragic situation in Ukraine seriously?

Mr. Speaker, that is just more talk. What Ukrainians want is real, concrete action. According to La Presse, the diplomat who is currently working abroad for Canada said that the government is relying more on its illusory soft power, an approach based almost exclusively on image and communications rather than real action. The diplomat said that Canada continues to lecture everyone by boasting about our Canadian values ad nauseam and falling back on diplomacy by press release. Ukrainians want more than press releases. Ukrainians want real, concrete, effective action from Canada. When will the Prime Minister take the crisis seriously?
