Please read the following statement from Elizabeth May, MP for Saanich–Gulf Islands and Leader of the Green Party of Canada, recognising the anniversary of the downing of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 in 2020:
“Today we commemorate the anniversary of the tragic downing of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752. 176 passengers and crew members were killed, including 55 Canadian citizens and 30 permanent residents. Many were academics and students visiting home for the holidays. We still need a comprehensive and critical investigation to prevent such a horrifying tragedy from occurring again. We remember those lost and will always stand with and support their loved ones.”
