OTTAWA — The House of Commons has unanimously adopted a motion blaming Russia for what it calls a despicable nerve gas attack in Britain. Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia’s Freeland’s motion says Russia is showing a total disregard for the rules of the international order. British and Russia has engaged in tit-for-tat expulsions of diplomats over the attack. Freeland’s motion calls on Russia to co-operate with British investigators and says Canada stands in solidarity with Britain. The motion calls on the House to recognize that the Russian state “bears responsibility” for the attack.
