Ukraine's ambassador to Canada is urging Canadian businesses to see her country's eventual recovery as an economic bonanza worth investing in.
"We are fighting, we will win the war with your support and then we'll have a big path together to rebuild Ukraine," Yuliya Kovaliv told a Thursday lunch event hosted by corporate groups in Ottawa.
Finland's ambassador to Canada, Roy Eriksson, also told the lunch that Canadian firms can help replace his country's trade with neighbouring Russia, saying both are familiar with designing products that work in cold climates. "Canada is probably the most like-minded country it the world, when it comes to how we see the world, how we see human rights, how we see democracy, the rule of law and so on."
Meanwhile, Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson announced Thursday that the International Energy Agency had chosen him to chair a ministerial task force on fuels, market monitoring and supply security.
