Ed. Note: The following questions, which were arranged with the National Office of the Ukrainian Canadian Congress were sent by New Pathway – Ukrainian News to all candidates for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada. When only Chrystia Freeland’s office replied, the deadline was extended and another email was sent. Again no one else replied. Ms. Freeland did not give us a written reply, but submitted an audio message in Ukrainian. We have posted the audio message:
The questions are below:
Do you support Canada fulfilling its 2% of GDP commitment on defence spending within two years?
How will you ensure Canada’s national defence and security is properly financed?
Will you increase military and economic assistance to Ukraine so that Ukraine can continue to defend freedom in Europe from Russia’s genocidal war of aggression?
Do you support NATO membership for Ukraine?
Do you support increasing sanctions on Russia and imposing a full trade embargo on Russia?
Will you expel Russian diplomats from Canada?
Will you ensure that Ukrainians displaced to Canada by Russia’s war have the right to work and access health care services?
