On July 16th, 1990 the UkrainianParliament adopted the Declaration

of Sovereignty which declared thatParliament recognized the need tobuild the Ukrainian state based on theRule of Law. On August 24, 1991 theUkrainian Parliament adopted theDeclaration of Independence, which thecitizens of Ukraine endorsed in the ref -erendum of December 1st, 1991.Also in 1991, Canadians celebrated theCentennial of Ukrainian group immigra -tion to Canada. To mark theCentennial, organizations planned pro -grams and projects to celebrate thismilestone in Canada's history.The Chair of Ukrainian StudiesFoundation of Toronto decided to markthe Centennial by establishing theCanada-Ukraine ParliamentaryProgram for undergraduate universitystudents from Ukraine. The Canada-Ukraine Parliamentary Program givesUkrainian students an opportunity towork and study in the CanadianParliament, and gain experience fromwhich generations of Canadian,American and West European studentshave benefited. On the basis of acade -mic excellence, knowledge of theEnglish or French and Ukrainian lan -guages, and an interest in the parlia -mentary system of government, under -graduate university students fromUkraine can apply for a CUPP scholar -ship. It is hoped that CUPP will con -tribute to the education of future lead -ers of Ukraine.CUPP is a Parliamentary Democracyand Comparative Political StudiesInternship Semester in the CanadianHouse of Commons. The InternshipSemester lasts two months and takesplace in the spring of each year inOttawa, Ontario, Canada. n

CUPP AlumniAbout the Program

BORIS KORMYCH - CUPP '97University of Odesa, Faculty of LawMy MPs: Clifford Lincoln ('96),Dan McTeague ('97)"I applaud the initiative of thisoutstanding program which I and manyof my colleagues consider to be thebest kind of aid that Canada can giveto Ukraine."

NATALIE MYLENKO - CUPP '97Zaporizhia Technical University,Management 4th year,Currently working at InternationalMonetary Fund in Washington, D.C.My MPP: Mario Sergio (Ontario)"Canada is an amazing country. It haswonderful people, beautiful sceneryand a rich economy. This is not justmy opinion but is also the opinion ofthe United Nations, which hasconsidered Canada to be the bestcountry in the world to live in for thefourth year in a row. But I loveUkraine. I like its people and itstraditions. I like the mountains in thewest, the forests in the north, thesteppes in the east and the seas in thesouth. Of course we have problems atthe present time. It takes time tochange a society. It is impossible toreuild a state in five years. Yet wehave achieved a lot, in a peaceful way,since 1991. Nations of the world haveaccepted the fact that Ukraine is nowan independent state, and that itstands for democracy. It is striving tobring in reforms to its economic andsocial life. There is an amazingopportunity for students like us to takepart in this process. There is hugepotential for development and I believethat someday Ukraine will be as good acountry to live in as Canada or anyother Western state. So the answer isthat yes, I love Canada and I amreturning home to do as much as I canin order to make true my predictionsthat someday soon Ukraine will be asgood country as Canada to live in andwe'll both be No. 1." n

EVHEN PALENKA - CUPP '95University of KharkivMy MPs: Wayne Easter (PEI),Mac Harb (Ontario)Oklahoma State University, March '97"During my program here in the USA,everyday I realized how important andvaluable CUPP was for me. CUPPgave me a very good basis of knowledgeand experience for the graduate programin both America universities and alsogave me a unique opportunity to betterunderstand the political, economic andlegal systems of western countries.This knowledge is extremely importantfor students who focus on social sciencesand I can see that my participation inCUPP gave me a valuable advantagefor my studies in the USA."

VYACHESLAV TOLKOVANOV -CUPP '96Horlivka Institute of Foreign LanguagesMy MP: Eleni Bakopanos (Quebec)Tolouse University, France, March '97Currently working at Council of Europein Strasbourg, France"It is not surprising that many of theparticipants of CUPP for the pastseven years have received scholarshipsto continue their studies in variousinstitutions of higher learning in theworld. For example, I received thescholarship of the French governmentfor study at the International School ofTranslators ESUCA (Ecole Superieurede la cadres Interpretes-Traducteurs)at the University of Tolouse. Here inFrance, I often recall my internship inCanada. I believe that the internship inthe Canada parliament was a culminatingmoment in my life which significantlychanged my consciousness. We sawand we understood how state institutionswork in a civilized society. I am delightedthat in spite of financial restraints,CUPP is continuing it program with thelarger group of Ukrainian universitystudents. They will have a uniqueopportunity and acquire experienceworking in the Parliament of Canada.Good Luck!" n

Having spent more than 6 weekscampaining in Alberta together with

my friend Arsen Zhumadilov fromSymferopol, we had a wonderfulopportunity to get know David Kilgour,the Liberal MP for Edmonton-Beaumont. David is the longest-serving MP in the current House ofCommons. First elected in 1979 in theriding of Edmonton Strathcona, he hasbeen re-elected six times, mostrecently in 2004 to represent theconstituents of Edmonton-Beaumont.Since Confederation, only four Alberta

MPs have served longer terms.In the 37th Parliament, David was amember of the Health Committee andthe Agriculture Committee. He chairedthe Sub-Committee on Human Rightsof the Committee of Foreign Affairs andwas vice-chair of the Canada-USParliamentary Group. He is also thedesignated Canadian Head ofParliamentarians for Global Action.During his 25 years of service in theHouse of Commons, David has held awide variety of portfolios, includingParliamentary Secretary to theGovernment House Leader, theMinister of External Relations, theMinister of Indian Affairs and theMinister of Transport.

David, what are the main problemsthat Canada faces in 2004?I think the main one is the continuingindependence movement in Quebec,which was reborn in the 1970s. Thenumber of supporters of Quebecsovereignty has since gone up and

down, but it neverseems to go muchbelow 40% andrarely much above50% - thankgoodness- at leastuntil now. Withthe election onJune 28, the BlocQuebecois politicalparty, whoseessential raisond'etre isindependence, haswon 54 seats outof 75 Quebecseats in our

popularly-electedchamber ofParliament, which is troubling for all ofus who want to maintain Canada asone united federal country.According to the results of theelection, the Liberals will form aminority government. With whatparty are you most likely to createthis coalition?We'll never create a coalition with theBloc Quebecois. Our two parties arelike chalk and cheese and will havenothing to do with each other aspartners in any coalition. Normally, ourally would be the social democraticNew Democratic party. One hears thatJack Layton (New Democratic PartyLeader) wants to have a referendum onthe proportional representation (PR)system of elections, which hepresumably hopes will give his partymore or less permanent membership inany national government. We shouldconsider carefully whether we want togo down the European or New ZealandPR roads, where virtually everygovernment appears to a coalition.In fact, we can agree with theConservatives on some issues, so wemight seek to find a majority in theHouse of Commons on a case-by-casebasis. We Canadian parliamentarianshave not had a lot of experience withminority governments; I believe thereare only two of us who were in theHouse in 1979 when the last one - aConservative ministry- attempted togovern for less than a year. TheLiberal minority government formed in1972 lasted for two years. Historically,the fates of the minority governmentsin our country are uncertain and short

David Kilgour: "Ukraine should be a major priorityfor development co-operation with Canada"

Arsen Zhumadilov & Andriy Maksymovychwith The Hon. Anne McLellan, Deputy Prime Minister



and long on parliamentary acrimonyand finger-pointing.How can you explain the maindifferences between Liberals andConservatives as the majorCanadian political parties?It depends on the time and issues. Asa rule, Conservatives have been betterfriends of the US in recent decades,although earlier the positions werereversed. The Conservatives today areprobably more in favour of a marketeconomy, tougher criminal laws, andlower taxes. We Liberals on thenational level are more committed toour essentially publicly-operated healthcare system. There are in short anumber of domestic issue differences.Internationally, the war in Iraqhighlighted a difference. Jean Chretien(former Prime Minister of Canada andleader of the Liberal party) refused tojoin the US-led coalition entering Iraq.Stephen Harper, the currentConservative leader, appears to havewanted Canadian participation in thecoalition at the time.David, You have visited Ukraine anumber of times. What are yourimpressions of our country?Very positive about the people, butsadly not so much currently about the

state of your rule of law, representativedemocracy and the battle againstcorruption, which all governments,including our own, must fightcontinuously! I was in the VerkhovnaRada about a week after the adoptionof the new Constitution of Ukraine in1996. I remember that vividly and thegeneral excitement and optimism aboutthe fresh start for an important country,whose people have always been veryclose in our hearts. Canada was thefirst country to recognize Ukrainianindependence in 1991 and many of usare very proud of that.You have huge potential in agriculture.Last year, as far as I know, was thefirst time since 1917 that Ukraineexported grain to Canada. I hope yourcountry with its wonderful soil andconditions will soon regain its status asthe grain basket to Europe.You have problems, but we also havethem in Canada: school dropouts,crime, violence, drugs, homelessness.We count on the new generation ofUkrainians, who will build your countryon the principles of democracy,pluralism and the rule of law.What are the plans of the Liberalgovernment concerning Ukraine?The development officials in our twocountries have their own opinions onthis issue. A number of initiatives arealready under way and decisions havebeen made, so it is quite difficult toinfluence their direction now. In myview, Ukraine should be a major priorityfor development co-operation withCanada, in part because of the largeamount of taxes paid by the Ukrainiandiaspora across Canada. I think CIDA(Canadian International DevelopmentAgency) should be more active inUkraine. There should also be a closerpartnership between Ukraine andCanadian foundations.I hope we'll have more Members ofParliament of Ukrainian origin in thenew House of Commons. Currentlythere are far too few on Parliament Hill,who represent the approximately onemillion Canadians of Ukrainian origin.

By the way, approximately 350,000Albertans claim such origin.David, you have been to more than150 countries. What impressed youthe most?Every country is special, but it's unfairto compare them. On the other hand, Ican't get Rwanda and its people out ofmy head with all the horrible things thathappened there in I994. If any readerwants more on this subject or manyothers, please go to my website(www.david-kilgour.com)Why did you decide to go intopolitics?It was a long time ago. Being astudent, I was interested in history. Ithink it was thus a natural thing - to gointo public life-as a serious andhonourable calling. It is for me muchmore interesting than being a lawyerand you can help a lot of people withproblems usually not of their ownmaking. My brother-in-law, JohnTurner, was Prime Minister in 1984,although then he was Liberal leaderand I was a Conservative MP.What's the main goal of yourpolitical activity?To make Canada a better place to live,to create better conditions and morefulfilled lives for Canadians generally.Also to see Canada achieve a moreprominent and active role on the worldstage because our national valuesseem to be badly needed around ourshrunken planet.It is not very easy to be a Liberal insuch conservative province asAlberta. You and Deputy PrimeMinister Anne McLellan were theonly Liberals elected here. What'sthe reason for Alberta'sconservatism?Actually, it used to be quite Liberaldecades ago. The Conservativeselected John Diefenbaker in the 1950sas national leader. He was verycharismatic. He won a minoritygovernment in 1957 when the Liberalsseemed invincible. I think his influence

David Kilgour â Ïàðëÿìåíò³



was a major reason for the success ofConservatism on the Prairies, includingAlberta, more or less continuouslysince. In 1968, I lost my first electionattempt as a Conservative inVancouver, but later was elected andre-elected three times as aConservative in Edmonton. In 1989,Brian Mulroney, then Conservativeprime minister, kicked me out of theparty essentially because of mycriticism of his attitude towardsWestern Canada and implementationof a national sales tax. After being anindependent for some time, I wasinvited by the Liberals under JeanChretien to join them.David, you are one of the longest-serving MPs in CanadianParliament now. What's the secretof your success?There are probably no secrets on howto be a successful elected public

servant. I am a religious person andthink that God plays a part in theaffairs of humankind. My motto is"constituents come first" and I alwaystry to stick to it. It doesn't matterwhether almost half of the constituentsvoted for you or not - you should serveall of them. This is an advantage of themajoritarian or first-past-the-post modelof elections: people know their MPsand whom they can ask for help. Youmust always seek to be in closecommunication with constituents.Good MPs in Canada seem often to becourageous, knowledgeable andintellectually curious. In my view, it isuseful if they are "re-electable" so thatthey can serve their fellow citizens formore than one term, which seemsnecessary for anyone to becomeeffective legislators.And the final question. You workedwith CUPP interns in 2000 and in

2004. What are your impressionsof this program?Unfortunately, there's nothing elsequite like it in our Parliament. It's anexcellent program in which everyoneassociated with it as sponsors,students or MPs should be very proud.It allows Ukrainian students see withtheir own eyes "up close and personal"how a reasonably mature democracyfunctions today in Canada. It seemsimportant that all you interns attempt tokeep in touch with your host MPs and ifnecessary persuade him/her to takenew students in subsequent years.The CUPP students have helped me alot and I can say with utmost certaintythat in future summers I'll attemptalways to attract one or more to myparliamentary office.

50 Years Later,Ukraine Still Lacks

a Free PressLviv - Kyiv - Kharkiv, Ukraine

Thomas A. DinePresident, RFE/RL, Inc.

It is an honor to be here today, and tobe in Ukraine to celebrate the 50thanniversary of Radio Liberty's Ukrainianbroadcasting service. Radio Libertyhas been a treasured source ofobjective news and information for thepeople of Ukraine - for this fact, I amvery proud to be associated with themen and women who have broughtfirst-class journalism to the airwaves forhalf a century.To add glitter to this, I want toacknowledge the fact that Ivan FrankoUniversity in Lviv offers a course on thehistory of Radio Liberty.Occasions such as this anniversary arebittersweet for me, however, because ifRadio Liberty has been broadcasting tothe same country for 50 years, it meansthat the country has existed without thebenefit of a truly free press during thisperiod of time. Radio Free Europe /Radio Liberty only broadcasts to countriesthat do not have the free and robustmedia environment that a functioningdemocracy requires - in other words,we only broadcast to countries that needus; when the first freedom in particular- speech and press - is in full bloom anddemocracy is successfully established,we go away. And that is why, eventhough anniversaries are normally acause for celebration, it saddens methat the Ukrainian Service of RadioLiberty is celebrating its 50thanniversary here today.Ladies and gentlemen, after five decades,the Ukrainian people still do not havethe full freedoms they deserve.Of course, Ukraine in 2004 is a vastlybetter place to be than it was in 1954.The tyrannical Soviet Union is no more,and its attempted eradication of Ukrainianculture failed. Ukraine now has asemblance of political independenceand free markets.But I can tell you that for those of us inthe business of establishing and

protecting freedom of speech andpress institutions, Ukraine continues tobe a heartache. For example, here's aquestion for you: What do Pakistan,Jordan, Azerbaijan, Indonesia, Egypt,and Kuwait have in common? Yes,they are all Muslim countries. Butbesides that, they all, according to thewatchdog organization ReportersWithout Borders, have more pressfreedom than Ukraine.Let me give you a more personalexample: Radio Free Europe/RadioLiberty broadcasts to 19 countries, andnone of them is more important to usthan the others; all people, whetherthey're from large nations like Russia orsmall nations like Armenia, have theright of unfettered access to news andinformation. But as the president ofRFE/RL, owing to the lack of real pressfreedom here in Ukraine, starting withthe murder of Heorhiy Gongadze, I havespent more time over the past fouryears dealing with Ukraine than withany other single country. That shouldgive you some idea as to the conditionof press freedom in Ukraine today.Ukraine is the biggest disappointmentamong the countries to which RadioFree Europe/Radio Liberty broadcasts.I say this because, while we certainlybroadcast to countries less free thanUkraine, no other country's post-Sovietpath has diverted so much from thehopes that I, and other Western friendsof Ukraine, had for it. Ukraine is a greatand beautiful country, with immensepotential: a well-educated populace50-million strong, fertile land, bustlingseaports, and a strategic locationbetween the European Union andRussia. But corrupt governments havesquandered this potential. Staffers atthe U.S. State Department have eveninvented a term for our feelings offrustration; it is called in Washsington"Ukraine fatigue."The media environment in Ukraine hasone overriding problem, and it's easy tosummarize: an overwhelming majorityof radio and television stations presentonly pro-government points of view.Let us look at the three reasons for thisthat experts who have studied theUkrainian media have identified.The first reason is obvious: almost allnational TV and radio stations are ownedor controlled by government officials




NAZAR BOBITSKY - CUPP '94Ivan Franko Lviv UniversityMy MP: Chris Axworthy(Saskatchewan)University of Amsterdan, MAThe Netherlands, March '97"The wide diversity of internationalpolitics as seen from Parliament Hillwas open to me. I was able to observethe exciting complexity of nationalpolicy-making as embodied in theCanadian Parliamentary System withMPs offices as its organic nucleus. Ialso learned, I hope, the most valuablepart of my CUPP experience, namely,the liberal ethics of international andprofessional business political andacademic communities, with its highlevel of erudition and tolerance,demanding working standards anddrive for perfection."

OLEKSIY SOSHENKO- CUPP '95Yaroslav the Wise National LawAcademy of Ukraine, KharkivMy MPs: Chris Axworthy, JohnSolomon (both from Saskatchewan)University of Minnesota Law School,March '97"MY CUPP participation was importantin the selection process for theFreedom Support Scholarship.Secondly, I was influenced by Canadapersonally. Obviously, with thepassage of time, impressions do notremain as strong and vivid, butsomething from my Canadianexperience has taken root in my mind.This something pushes me forward tonew accomplishments in life. It makesme think about the destiny of Ukraineand Ukrainians more often and morecritically." n

and their friends. Two associates ofPresident [Leonid] Kuchma in particular- Viktor Medvedchuk, the head ofKuchma's administration, and ViktorPinchuk, Kuchma's son-in-law -- controla staggering portion of Ukrainianbroadcast-media outlets.The second reason for the dominanceof the government's point of view onthe airwaves is the widespread use oftemniki. As I'm sure all of you know,temniki are secret, unsigned dailymemoranda sent by President Kuchma'sadministration to editors of the leadingstate and private media, instructingthem on how to cover a particular storyand on which stories to cover and whichto ignore. When the president's officedetermines the content of the eveningnews, that is not freedom - that is auto -cracy. Journalist Andriy Shevchenkoput it best when he told your parliamentin 2002, "Television news coverage inUkraine is done by remote control."The third reason for conforming ortho -doxy in Ukrainian broadcasting is thecorrupt licensing process. As you know,anyone with a computer and a printercan start a newsletter or a website.But television and radio frequenciesare a finite commodity that must beallotted by the government. That ishow it works in the United States, andthat's how it works in Ukraine. Theproblem in Ukraine, though, is that thelicensing authorities favor broadcastentities that promise to be friendly tothe government -- and the processitself is so closed and confusing thatprotesting a given decision is futile.This concentration of media power inthe hands of one political mindset andone political bloc becomes particularlydangerous during an election campaign.This year, when it is absolutely criticalthat voters receive as much objectiveinformation about the candidates aspossible, Ukrainian voters are insteadgetting only one side of the story.Studies by outside observers haveestablished beyond doubt that on theTV and radio stations controlled by Mr.Medvedchuk and Mr. Pinchuk, includingUkrainian state television and Ukrainianstate radio, reporters are providingpositive coverage of the candidate Mr.Kuchma supports and overwhelminglynegative coverage of the candidate thepresident most fears. This is preciselywhy freedom of the press is essential

to the operation of a democracy: anelectorate cannot possibly make informedchoices at the ballot box if the mediado not report the whole truth about thecandidates.President Kuchma thus enjoys a luxurythat any political leader would envy: amedia environment that is almost totallycompliant. And this lack of diversity inthe media landscape has beenexacerbated by the fact that practicingjournalism in Ukraine is so difficult thatfew people are willing to do it.Ukraine, to put it mildly, is not a goodplace to be a journalist. Reporters therehave more to fear than the censorshipand intimidation that unfortunately plaguemuch of the media in the former SovietUnion. Ukrainian journalists must alsofear for their lives. Since 2000, at least39 journalists have been killed. Forty-two Ukrainian journalists were attackedor harassed in 2003 alone - nearlydouble the figure for 2002. And althoughPresident Kuchma himself may not be toblame for all the mayhem that is visitedon reporters in his country, there is strongevidence that he is directly responsiblefor the most notorious act of violenceagainst a journalist in recent memory:the cruel and criminal beheading ofHeorgiy Gongadze.Furthermore, practicing journalism inUkraine entails enormous economicburdens. While there is a small groupof well-connected journalists that is verywell paid, low salaries are the rule.Expenses such as computers, trans -mitters, newsprint, and paper are veryburdensome for the average Ukrainianenterprise. Private media outlets havea limited pool of advertisers from whichto draw extra revenue, and thereforehave a hard time turning a profit. Whenyou have impoverished media employingimpoverished journalists, the result is ajournalistic climate that is extremelyconducive to corruption: People withmoney can get their stories told and theirviews expressed, while people withoutmoney cannot. Moneyed interests -including government officials - canmanipulate coverage of their actions,as cash-starved newspapers areoffered financial inducements to tell thepayer's side of the story. Call itjournalistic bribery.
