"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"3531881\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Chair, I appreciate the comments from the member. I cannot help but think in terms of one of the reasons why we have this situation in Ukraine today is because of maybe a fear factor between let us say Russia and Ukraine and the European Union, where there are those who stay closer to the European Union and a smaller portion who want to enhance Russia in a protective mode which is to their detriment. That is just a personal opinion. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3531882\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member made reference to the fact that in Canada we had free trade agreements with many countries. This is something in which the population as a whole in Ukraine recognizes the value, that it can continue on trade with Russia and have an agreement with the European Union. Further to that, ultimately it could have a free trade agreement with Canada. It is all a good thing if the political will were to move in that direction. The concern is the political will.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3531883\" data-originallang=\"en\">I am wondering if the member might want to provide comments in regard to the political will of the Ukrainian president and if the member has some thoughts on this.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"3531881\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le pr\u00e9sident, je comprends les propos du d\u00e9put\u00e9. Je ne peux m'emp\u00eacher de penser que l'une des raisons pour lesquelles l'Ukraine se retrouve dans cette situation est peut-\u00eatre li\u00e9e \u00e0 un \u00e9l\u00e9ment de peur entre la Russie, l'Ukraine et l'Union europ\u00e9enne; il y a des pays qui resserrent les liens avec l'Union europ\u00e9enne et d'autres, moins nombreux, qui veulent augmenter le r\u00f4le protecteur de la Russie, ce qui est \u00e0 leur propre d\u00e9triment. C'est simplement une opinion personnelle.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3531882\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 a parl\u00e9 du fait que le Canada a des accords de libre-\u00e9change avec beaucoup de pays. L'ensemble de la population ukrainienne en reconna\u00eet l'importance et comprend que le pays peut \u00e0 la fois poursuivre ses \u00e9changes commerciaux avec la Russie et avoir un accord avec l'Union europ\u00e9enne. De plus, l'Ukraine pourrait un jour avoir un accord de libre-\u00e9change avec le Canada. Ce serait une bonne chose si la volont\u00e9 politique allait en ce sens. C'est une question de volont\u00e9 politique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3531883\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je me demande si le d\u00e9put\u00e9 aurait des commentaires sur la volont\u00e9 politique du pr\u00e9sident ukrainien. J'aimerais avoir son opinion \u00e0 ce sujet.</p>"
