Mr. Speaker, the Russians are about to invade Ukraine. They have amassed 100,000 troops along the Ukrainian border. They have also moved blood supplies to their field hospitals, as they anticipate the possibility of considerable loss of life. Ukraine has been pleading with Canada to send defensive weapons, but the Prime Minister is refusing its request. As proof of the imminent danger, Canadian troops were moved into the territory. Will the Prime Minister show some courage, stop playing games and finally come to the aid of Ukraine by sending defensive weapons?

Mr. Speaker, Ukraine will likely be the theatre of a major conventional land war. We have been watching Russia's miliary buildup in Belarus, in Russia, in the Donbas region and in Crimea since the Russians held exercises in September. Russia has been threatening Ukraine for some time now, and this Liberal government has had months to prepare a military assistance plan for our friends in Ukraine. Why does the Prime Minister not understand that Russia is not interested in diplomacy? When will we provide real help to our Ukrainian friends?
