Ukrainian interns hold roundtable with MP Borys Wrzesnewskyj

OTTAWA - Liberal Member of Parliament Borys Wrzesnewskyj (Etobicoke Center) recently hosted a roundtable and farewell reception for the 20 visiting Ukrainian university students who were part of this year's contingent from the Canada-Ukraine Parliamentary Program (CUPP). The future leaders of Ukraine spent two hours exchanging their ideas and views with Mr. Wrzesnewskyj. The roundtable discussion focused on Canada's political system and the evolution of Canada-Ukraine relations. Interim Liberal Leader Bill Graham also attended the send-off and wished the interns all the best in their future endeavors. This year marked the 16th anniversary of the establishment of the CUPP. Supported by the Chair of Ukrainian Studies Foundation of Toronto, under the direction of the president of the Chair of Ukrainian Studies Foundation Ihor W. Bardyn, the CUPP has provided Ukrainian university students an exceptional opportunity to learn how democracy functions in Canada by working closely with Canadian members of Parliament of all parties. Above, the interns are seen with Mr. Wrzesnewskyj at the conclusion of their roundtable.
