They're part of the four-year-old Canada-Ukraine Parliamentary internship Program, sponsored by the Chair of Ukrainian Studies Foundation at the University of Toronto. The seven - five men and two women, the highest number of Ukrainian students to participate since 1991 - are spending their summer working with members of Parliament: five Liberal, two Reform and one New Democratic Party member. ihor Bardyn, director of the foundation, said that nei– ther the two-member Progressive Conservative Party caucus nor the separatist Opposition caucus, the Bloc Quebecois, are involved, in a way, the bloc's nonin– volvement may not be surprising. Two of the students, Hlib Krivenko, a 24-year-old law student at the Ukrainian State Law Academy in Kharkiv, and Serhiy Myshkiv, a 23-year-old law student from Chernivtsi University, have made comments in the Canadian media supportive of national unity. in the June 13 edition of Mclean's, which dealt with the threat of Quebec's separation, Mr. Myshkiv, who's been working for Reform MP ian McClelland (Edmonton- Southwest) is quoted as saying, "if one part of the nation thinks only about themselves it is not good.
