Ukrainian Government: Immigration Minister Chris Alexander

Immigration Minister Chris Alexander: "We will restrict entry to Canada for key Ukrainian government officials that have been responsible for the repression and silencing of opposition voices," Alexander told a news conference in the foyer of the House of Commons, according to Huffington Post. Tougher measures could come if the Ukrainian government fails to respond to popular demands for freedom and democracy, he added and Senior Ukrainian officials will be barred from Canada as a response to the continuing crackdown on protests in that country, Immigration Minister Chris Alexander said Tuesday. Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said it's a symbolic effort, but sends a disapproving message to the government in Ukraine. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
