Liberal ministers are expected to appear at a Commons committee regarding the sending of repaired Russian natural gas pipeline parts.
The Liberals, who are facing heavy criticism from Ukraine for exempting the turbines from sanctions against Russia, quickly agreed that Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson would be happy to take questions about the matter.
Conservatives on the committee also called for Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland to appear and alleged that Liberals were trying to prevent her testimony because she might disagree with the export decision. The Ukrainian World Congress is petitioning the Federal Court to uphold the sanctions regime and stop the shipment, saying in a statement that “we cannot supply a terrorist state with the tools it needs to finance the killing of tens of thousands of innocent people.”
And the U.S. state department issued a statement supporting the decision, saying that it would help Europe increase its energy security and resiliency and counter “Russia’s efforts to weaponize energy.” Conservative MP Garnett Genuis called it “a slap in the face to the Ukrainian people” and said it smacked of “the logic of appeasement or compromise with a violent aggressor.”
