On indulgence, Madam Speaker, I want to associate myself, as the Leader of the Opposition has, with the comments made by both the Prime Minister and the foreign minister on events in Ukraine. Things are unfolding very quickly and the opposition offers our support to the government in making very clear to Russia that the actions we have seen thus far are not appropriate, and we certainly hope our position on the Security Council is used to make our view very clear.
