Mr. Speaker, I believe if you seek it, you will find unanimous consent for the following motion. I move: That this House: (a) condemn the continuation of Russia's unjustified full-scale aggression against Ukraine; (b) call on Russia to end hostilities against Ukraine and withdraw all its troops from the territory of Ukraine; (c) call on the Government of Canada to continue to provide military and financial assistance to Ukraine, to conduct the security guarantee agreement with Ukraine in order to increase its capabilities to defend itself from Russian unprovoked aggression; (d) support Ukraine's future membership in NATO; (e) call on the Government of Canada to strengthen sanctions against Russia, confiscate the assets of Russian oligarchs and Russian sovereign assets for Ukraine's rebuilding; (f) call on the Government of Canada to exert all possible efforts and provide necessary diplomatic and financial support to ensure the return of Ukrainian children forcibly deported to Russia; and (g) call on the Government of Canada to support efforts to bring those responsible for violations of international law to justice.

Mr. Speaker, for four months, innocent Palestinians have pleaded for help. Close to 30,000 people, including children, have been killed. In Rafah it is even worse. All we hear from the Prime Minister are empty words. He is concerned, but he will not stop arms sales to Israel. He will not help Canadians fleeing Gaza, and he will not reinstate funding to UNRWA. Maybe the minister's parliamentary secretary should say publicly what he has clearly been saying privately, that UNRWA is the only organization that can help people in Gaza. When will the Liberals finally act to save Palestinian lives?
