Mr. Speaker, one of the issues we have is that, when the Leader of the Opposition talks about the impact of our price on pollution on farmers, he includes farmers in Ukraine and he includes farmers who are busy feeding us and feeding people around the world. He stood against the free trade deal that Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Ukrainian people want us to have because he pretends we are imposing a price on pollution on them, which of course we are not. That is the extent to which the Leader of the Opposition will spin to make a political attack when it is completely unfounded. We will be there to stand with Ukraine and with Christmas.

Mr. Speaker, not only does the Leader of the Opposition think he knows better than everyone else in the House, but he also thinks he knows better than Volodymyr Zelenskyy what Ukraine needs right now. President Zelenskyy and his government are asking us to pass the modernizing of the Canada-Ukraine free trade deal. The Leader of the Opposition is saying, “No, no, no. We don't support, because it would impose a carbon price on Ukrainians.” Of course, the fact that the Ukrainian embassy is pointing out that it would do no such thing and, that indeed, they have had a price on pollution for years now, is proof that he is just trying to make an ideological argument.
