BROOKE VAN VELDEN (Deputy Leader—ACT): Thank you, Madam Speaker. I rise tonight in support of the Russia Sanctions Bill. And it's important that we're passing this law tonight. It's important because the situation in Ukraine is devastating. Ukraine has suffered an unprovoked invasion, a violation of its sovereignty, and aggression by Russia. I want to acknowledge the Ukrainians who will be wondering when this will end, whether they will survive another night, whether their family members will survive with them. We must stand with them and support them. And we have to stand with them as a nation, because of the shared values that we hold, the values of democracy: being able to have elections, being able to have freedoms—the freedom of thought, freedom of expression, and freedom of assembly that we know is lost under authoritarian regimes.
