Mr. Speaker, if I may, I will just put to the member a question that was put to the government earlier today, in question period, by the deputy leader of the Liberal Party and ask him to respond as to how he would have answered the question. The question is this. Beyond general statements about considering options with respect to Yanukovych, will Canada specifically, one, send official observers to scrutinize what is going on, two, provide expedited visas to any victims who need to leave that country for their own safety, and three, target Yanukovych and his crowd with personal sanctions, asset freezes and travel bans, for example, to push them to stop their anti-democratic behaviour?
In the House of Commons on January 27th, 2014. See this statement in context.
