Federal Parliament of Canada voted for visa-free travel for Ukraine

The Federal Parliament of Canada has supported canceling the visa regime with Ukraine

This was reported by the Standing Committee of the Parliament of Canada.

The document states: "We call on the Government of Canada to introduce a visa-free travel regime from Ukraine to Canada, including the rapid issuance of electronic travel permits."

In addition, deputies appealed to the government to "support Ukrainians and other people affected by the conflict."

They recommend that the government "increase the number of staff so that delays in receiving migrants do not become longer due to the current humanitarian crisis."

"We condemn the unprovoked attack on Ukraine ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin in clear violation of international law," the report said.

To recap, the deputies voted for the report of the Standing Committee of the Canadian Parliament, whose members previously supported the introduction of a visa-free regime with Ukraine.

At the time, a majority of committee members supported the draft resolution, although Liberal MPs voted against it.
