Mr. Chair, this is an important debate we are having this evening. In the last few days we have seen the spirit of people in my riding of Kelowna—Lake Country stand strong in making their voices heard in support for Ukraine. I want to be clear that Vladimir Putin has created this invasion and human tragedy. It is not the people of Russia. Central Okanagan is home to about 14,000 people of Ukrainian descent, myself included. I have been in touch with the Ukrainian leaders in my community and one of their asks is to immediately implement visas. As the official opposition, as Conservatives, we have actually taken it a step further and have recommended that on travel from Ukraine to Canada we eliminate visas. Would the hon. member be in support of that?
