Ahead of Zelensky’s address to Parliament, Canada announced it is imposing sanctions on 15 more individuals who the federal government says have “enabled and supported President Putin’s choice to invade a peaceful and sovereign country.”
On his way in to the chamber for the address, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the speech is an opportunity for Canadians to hear directly from the Ukrainian president about what's happening in his country and “demonstrate that across party lines, across the country, we stand with Ukraine.”
The special event has brought officials back to Ottawa during a scheduled break in the session. Dignitaries and other invited guests are present inside the viewing galleries and in seats on the floor of the House.
