Mr. Speaker, as president of the Canada-Europe Parliamentary Association, I would like to formally welcome the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, on her first official visit to Canada. The Canada-EU relationship is the oldest formal relationship the EU has with any industrialized country. We are strategic partners and close friends bound by our history, our shared values, our close co-operation and the blood ties between our peoples. In the last year, both Canada and the EU have wholeheartedly supported Ukraine and will continue to do so for as long as it takes. We know that the Canada-EU relationship is vital to our safety, prosperity and security. That is why we stand together. This visit is aimed at strengthening our bilateral ties, developing our trade, growing our economies and continuing to uphold the rule of law. “Welkom , welcome, bienvenue, benvenuta and bienvenida”, to the President of the European Commission.
