The bill, which seeks to implement a modernized Canada-Ukraine free trade agreement, was adopted by 214 votes, with 116 representatives voting against.

Canada’s House of Commons has adopted a bill amending the free trade agreement with Ukraine. Global News reported this today, February 7.

We are talking about an agreement signed by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky last year during a visit to Ottawa.

It was reported that the bill aimed at implementing a modernized Canada-Ukraine free trade agreement was passed by 214 votes, with 116 representatives voting against. The document must now go through a second round of proceedings in the Senate of Canada.

It was noted that the government’s bill passed without the support of conservatives, despite repeated calls from Ukrainian Tory groups to change their position. The Tories, despite expressing support for Ukraine, oppose the bill because the updated deal says both countries are committed to pushing for carbon pricing.

Ukraine already has a price on carbon emissions, and Canadian officials say the language is not binding.

Canadian Trade Minister Mary Ng said the agreement will allow Canadian businesses to assist Ukraine in its economic reconstruction and post-war recovery.

We remind you that Canadian Foreign Minister Mélanie Joly recently arrived in Kyiv and announced the start of a coalition for the return of Ukrainian children.

It was previously reported that Canada has provided a draft security agreement with Ukraine. Ottawa believes these should be assurances, not guarantees, but they see no problem with it.
