 Hello everyone. I am very happy to be here today with the Vice-Premier-Ministre Freeland and the Minister Anand and Jolie. Before I begin, I want to acknowledge the discovery of possible burial sites at the St. Joseph's Mission Residential School in BC. Today we're thinking of Williams Lake First Nation and everyone affected. As always, we will be there for Indigenous communities as they do the difficult and important work of conducting searches. This is a critical part of confronting the tragic legacy of residential schools. We will be there to support healing and get closure for communities. This week, we had very productive meetings with the Council of Ministers. We discussed our priorities, the fight against COVID-19 and the importance of vaccination and our actions for a strong economic reliance. We're going to keep doing whatever it takes to support provinces and territories, small businesses, frontline workers and families through this pandemic. At the same time, we're focused on the big things that Canadians sent us here to do – grow the economy and the middle class, fight climate change and stand up for global issues important to Canadians and to the world. We also discussed the legislative priorities for when the House of Commons returns next week. On the economy, we have known a strong economic reliance up to now, with 108 percent of the lost jobs that have been recovered. There are still challenges to be overcome – the cost of life, the destruction of the global supply chain, the labor shortages. So we're focused on delivering results, like reducing childcare fees to make life more affordable for families. Whether it's through growing the middle class or supporting small business owners, we'll continue building a strong economy for years and decades to come. We're also continuing our leadership on climate change. To ensure long-term growth, we need to be competitive in the clean global economy of the future. We've been helping industry cut pollution. We're protecting lands and oceans. We're helping Canadians afford electric vehicles. And we introduced a price on pollution right across the country. But now is the time to move Canada forward even further, even faster. We need to seize the opportunities for all workers and businesses, including workers in our resource industries. And we continue to need to take action to keep Canadians safe from wildfires, floods, and heatwaves. Whether it's to fight climate change or end with COVID-19, Canada continues to do its part at home, but also on the international stage. We continue to do our part, too, when it's time to attack the other areas in which the world community is facing. Of course, Ukraine has been an important subject during our meeting this week. With rising tensions and unwarranted aggression, Canada will be there to provide ongoing support to Ukraine so that it can defend itself. Let there be no mistake that Canada, alongside all of our democratic allies, stands strong for Ukraine. And everything we do is motivated by our pursuit of de-escalation and a diplomatic solution. Canada, with its democratic allies, is the leader of Ukraine. All of our actions are aimed at reducing tensions and finding a diplomatic solution. Today, to support Ukraine, I have authorized the extension of the Unifier operation for three years, and to expand this training mission. Today, I have authorized the extension of Operation Unifier for three more years, and the expansion of this training mission, as well as immediate support. This is a $340 million commitment. As part of it, I have authorized the Canadian Armed Forces to deploy 60 personnel within days to join the approximately 200 women and men already on the ground, with further capacity to increase the number of people on the ground up to 400. This also includes a provision of non-lethal equipment, intelligence sharing, and support to combat cyber attacks. Our ongoing commitment to Operation Unifier guarantees the Canadian Armed Forces continued support of the security forces of Ukraine so that Ukraine can defend its sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity. Minister Anand will travel to Latvia and Ukraine to visit with our forces in the coming days. I want to thank the Canadian Armed Forces members of Operation Unifier, who continue to do exemplary work on the ground. Additionally, Canada is providing up to $50 million to deliver development and humanitarian aid. I want to thank Minister Sajin for his work on this. Of course, this support is in addition to the loan of up to $120 million for Ukraine we announced last week. We continue to call on Russia to de-escalate and engage in meaningful dialogue until a peaceful diplomatic solution is reached. This is something I mentioned earlier today in my discussion with President von der Leyen of the European Union. Canada remains a steadfast friend to Ukraine and will continue working closely with the Ukrainian government and partners in the region.
