Audit and stop aid to Ukraine
Sign on the House of Commons websitePetitioners ask the House of Commons to order an independent audit and investigation of all Canadian aid to Ukraine since February 2022, halt Canadian funds and arms, and cancel the 100-year partnership.
Why we would sign this petition
- An independent audit and investigation would increase transparency and hold officials accountable for how Canadian aid has been used since February 2022.
- Halting funds and arms pending findings could reduce the risk of Canadian taxpayer money or military materiel being diverted by corruption.
- Reviewing or cancelling the long partnership would let Parliament reconsider strategic commitments in light of verified corruption concerns.
Why we wouldn’t sign this petition
- Stopping aid and arms could weaken Ukraine's security and diplomatic ties, reducing Canada's influence to press for reforms and support stability.
- Audits and investigations may duplicate existing oversight, cause long delays in urgently needed assistance, or be used for partisan political aims.
- Cancelling a 100-year partnership is a disproportionate, legally and diplomatically complex action that could harm long-term Canadian interests and commitments.

Official petition
Petition to the House of Commons Since February 2022, Canada has committed over $26 billion in multifaceted assistance for Ukraine, including over $13 billion in direct financial support and $9 billion for military support, despite serious risks of corruption in Ukraine; The European Court of Auditors found in its audit report, dated September 23, 2021, that Ukraine has been plagued by grand corruption for many years; Grand Chief Ron Derrickson described widespread corruption in the economy in Ukraine in his 2023 book “Ukrainian Scorpions: A Tale of Larceny and Greed”; The U.S. Inspector General stated that “corruption in Ukraine remains a serious systemic challenge in areas such as defense procurement and energy, and even at the highest levels of government” in his quarterly report for April-June 2026; and The New York Times’ investigation, published on September 6, 2026, revealed that Ukraine’s military procurement system is rife with mismanagement, fraud, and waste. We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to: 1. Request the Office of the Auditor General audit all of Canada’s financial and military aid given to Ukraine since February 2022; 2. Appoint an independent Commissioner to investigate and publicly report on corruption in Canada's aid to Ukraine; 3. Establish a Parliamentary Committee with all-party representation to investigate corruption in aid to Ukraine; 4. Stop sending Canadian tax dollars and weapons to Ukraine; and 5. Cancel the 100-year partnership with Ukraine, one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
