Madam. Speaker, the Conservative Party of Canada is so focused on getting rid of the price on pollution that its members are actually voting against the Canada-Ukraine trade agreement. The excuse they are using is that it is because they do not believe there should be a price on pollution in Ukraine. Ukraine has had a price on pollution since 2011. That is how ridiculously reckless the leader of the Conservative Party is. He is prepared to vote against, for the first time ever, a trade agreement between Ukraine and Canada at a time of war in Europe because they have a price on pollution. The price on pollution is something the world is moving toward. Only the leader of the Conservative Party cannot conceptualize the negative impact his reckless policy and irresponsible approach to the Canada-Ukraine trade agreement are having, not only here in Canada, but also abroad.

Mr. Speaker, I expected no better from the Conservatives, who, in 2023, have opposed workers' rights and spread disinformation about housing. They deny climate change. They want to reopen the abortion debate with Bill C‑311. They are betraying Ukraine. The one idea they had this year would financially harm eight out of 10 families. They are turning their backs on future generations when it comes to climate change. It is shameful.

Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of International Trade on the Canada-Ukraine free trade agreement. I have been speaking with Ukrainian Canadian Congress branches across Canada, and they have been telling me how important this agreement is to both Canada's economy and Ukraine's economy and to Ukraine's rebuild. Now, it has been over a week since the Ukrainian Canadian Congress wrote to the leader of the Conservative Party to express its disappointment in the fact that every single Conservative MP voted against the agreement and to urge them to support it. Still, Conservatives oppose it. Could the minister reassure Canadians that, despite Conservative opposition and obstruction, the government will stand with the Ukrainian people until they win?

Mr. Speaker, Ukrainians have a word for the Conservative position on the Canada-Ukraine free trade agreement. It is “nisenitnytsya”, or nonsense. It is nonsense to call this agreement “woke”. It is nonsense to not stand up for Ukraine sovereignty. It is nonsense to suggest that this agreement puts a price on pollution on Ukraine because it has had a price on pollution since 2011. President Zelenskyy wants this agreement. The rest of this House voted for this agreement. Why will the Conservatives not vote for this agreement?

Madam Speaker, this vote is to directly provide military aid to Ukraine through Operation Unifier. I definitely request a recorded division, and I encourage Conservatives to change their vote.

Madam Speaker, Conservatives believe we should be doing much more for Ukraine, including being consistent on sanctions and not sending turbines back. That is why we want a recorded division.

Madam Speaker, it is only prudent to give the official opposition another chance, as this vote will have about $500 million of aid for Ukraine included in it. I would ask for a recorded division.
