International Trade committee  I suggest that any future free trade agreements in Ukraine be based on a positive approach to workers, in which they're viewed as partners and not adversaries in any plan to rebuild the economy. I had a few comments to make about that, based upon Canada's experience with the Wagner act in the United States after the New Deal, but I won't make them because I don't have time.

International Trade committee  Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm honoured to make a few comments to this panel on the Canada-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement. I am the son of immigrant homesteaders who came to Alberta before the First World War. They came as children. The events in Ukraine have really occupied a lot of my attention for these years.
