Mr. Speaker, this past Saturday I had the pleasure of attending a fundraising supper at St. George Ukrainian Catholic Church. The event, which included a Ukrainian feast, raised $12,000 for Come Back Alive: a charity supporting members of the Ukrainian forces with protective equipment, medical care and mental health services. The charity began operating seven years ago, when tensions between Ukrainian forces and Russian-backed separatists first erupted. The event also featured a silent auction by the Veselka Ukrainian Cultural and Heritage Club. It raised $3,500 towards the Canada-Ukraine Foundation, which is involved in several humanitarian projects in Ukraine. Residents of my constituency stand with Ukraine, with the people of Ukraine and with the over one million Canadians who have ties with Ukraine. They are our neighbours, our friends and our family. They are an integral part of Saskatchewan. Their concerns are our concerns.
