Ukrainian Government Officials: Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander

Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander: As the Conservative caucus stood behind him, Alexander said that the move is effective immediately, but did not specify which Ukrainian officials would be subject to the new measure, according to CTV. We believe it will take more than words to establish trust with the people, and Canada will continue to stand with the Ukrainian people, who courageously continue to speak out in support of democracy, Alexander said and Canada will restrict entry of key Ukrainian government officials into the country, Citizenship and Immigration Minister Chris Alexander announced Tuesday in the wake of a violent crackdown on protesters in that country. Recent actions by members of Ukraine's ruling elite in the face of popular and growing protests have been utterly deplorable, and compel us to take targeted and meaningful action, Alexander said, adding that the federal government will continue to monitor the situation in Ukraine and consider taking further action if necessary.
