Canada Trade Minister Mary Ng has said the updated agreement is necessary to help Ukraine rebuild from the war it has been fighting since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022.

The Senate passed without the support of a single Conservative senator, in line with how Tory Leader Pierre Poilievre and the rest of his MPs voted in the House of Commons.

Conservatives say they voted against the bill because the trade deal says the two countries, which both have a carbon price in place, will promote carbon pricing.

Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has repeatedly accused the Conservatives of abandoning Ukraine and following in the footsteps of some U.S. Republicans, who have tried blocking aid to Ukraine.

soโ€ฆ "this is good for both countries and will be an important part of Ukraine's recovery, but I will vote against it because I can't go on record voting for anything that mentions the magic words 'carbon pricing'. sorry. would have loved to help, but CARBON!"
