Mr. Speaker, there have been consultations among the parties. I think that, if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent for the following motion: Given that (1) according to the report of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, thousands of children have been forcibly deported by Russia from Ukraine to the Russian Federation; (2) the International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova‑Belova— Some hon. members: Nay.

Mr. Speaker, once again, I am shocked that the Conservatives would say one thing but then do another. With all of the support for Ukraine in our budget, the Conservatives voted against it. With all of the supports for Ukraine through the most difficult time in that country's existence, they voted against it. Then, they stand in the House and suggest that the one way we should help Ukraine is by exporting more oil and gas to western Europe. There is an energy crisis around the world. We need solutions, and we need innovations, but to stand up and suggest that the only thing we should be doing for Ukraine is voting against a budget with all that aid, all those supports and all those defence mechanisms that the minister has applied, and that what we should be doing is sending more oil and gas, is so myopic that I cannot wait to get to summer so I do not have to hear that type of argument anymore.
