a profitable constant exchange and process is in terms of communication and helping to make the right decisions, but the process can be viewed by the audience if you think about the transparency of the pillar of communication, i will immediately warn you about this question or prejudice that may arise, lobbying here is also regulated by legislation, it is also a very transparent, clearly defined process, that is why they act here established rules are already in place for canadian society. for example , lobbying - this is a normal process - it is a necessary process and is quite established for the industry and for its understanding and respect even well unlike ukraine, we do not have any legislation on lobbying, and our lobbying always has such a negative tone , although in fact it is possible to lobby and people need very good initiatives, but we still need

to grow to this point, i hope that such excellent specialists as you will also be brought this is a great experience for our parliamentarians, and we will eventually improve. and in this sense, about the meeting with justin trudeau, there was a meeting with the prime minister of canada twice, and we even managed to present him with the bracelets that remained in december last year, and why exactly this bracelet, what kind of symbolism did they put into it, well , how did the meeting go, maybe some agreements were made, promises were heard, yes, it was really a bright, bright meeting that first of all, and second, uh, she beat a few while i was here in the parliament since may, uh, she was on vyshyvanka day a joint photo of justin judo and we met then and then there was an opportunity to meet him e during the annual teacher award they have such an e-e opportunity here they

identify their bright talented teachers in each district and there was an opportunity with them briefly to meet to meet shake hands to say that i came from ukraine and now work in the parliament and to thank him his government and his team for all the support that canada has provided to ukraine since the first days of our invasion plan of a large-scale invasion of our country not but for the last meeting she it was december 15. it was all general, such a winter holiday, let's say the congress of the liberal party , it takes place every year, with the exception, of course, of the years when there was a pandemic and everything was closed, we, together with my fiance, he he is engaged in building up our business in ukraine in parallel. he has also been involved in volunteer activities since the beginning of the war. he mainly works with an american foundation, but this time he came to canada. he had meetings here, and we

went to that judo meeting together, and this is maksimova . the idea was to present him with a bracelet as a gift as a symbol of ukrainian stability and as a reminder that the struggle continues in our country and despite the fact that canada , united canada, would take a leadership position if he gave help to ukraine both in the financial part and in to the military support, to remind them once again that they should not give up and continue to help us. he knew what the laborers were doing. he certainly knows what azovstal is about. if he had infiltrated this place, he thanked us with this gift and said that we should expect very good news very soon. and in fact, recently there were several of those statements about the same thing, like how they will buy the united states, of course we will

, that we just mentioned about the closing of the sky over ukraine and he said that wait very soon for good news and we actually waited for them , now 300 million dollars, if i am not mistaken, will be allocated by canada for the purchase of anti-aircraft missile systems and missiles for them, and separately, another 500 million dollars of military aid will be allocated, but it is not specified here. and this is from the latest news and what kind of aid goes there, and that’s without a humanitarian aid, millions of tons of humanitarian aid was also allocated by canada at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, and a total of 3.5 billion canadian dollars of aid was given to us ania, but i can’t help but ask, uh, it sounds so large-scale, but in your opinion, is this the maximum that canada can do, or are they, like the united states of america, still watching

the successes of the ukrainian defenders at the front and depending on this, they continue to increase or decrease aid there? to say that there are delays of some kind, but there are very different, rich and different facts, in particular for canada, for example, the participants in the labor day , especially after february 24, he has a great emphasis on restoring canada's position as an international leader because they have a lot of history related to the first world war and the second world war when they sent their aid to the fronts to fight for europeans on the european continents and they are proud of this moment in history and now they and if they felt their mission again yes, but because of the fact that a very large center is being made by the government on international

politics, well, some people now, according to a sociological survey, the majority of canadians believe that this is neglect of internal problems and because of high inflation because of everything what is happening here in ukraine, where supply chains are broken because of oil and gas prices, because of all the problems that we hear about every day in the news, including or primarily related to the fact that russia decided to attack aggressively in our country er, the cost of living in canada is growing very high, er, a lot of people are now in a very short-term situation, you can say well, on the verge of poverty, er, it is very high due to the high flow of migration from canada , housing prices have risen very much, and that is, internally well, there is turbulence here, that is why all these federal expenditures, which go especially to

international aid, are sometimes perceived with such a screeching tone in society, of course , the government has to balance these and because of the fact that canada has a very large diaspora and in every district of the deputy, almost every deputy has whose community has more, who has less community of ukrainians, it's their duty, yes, it's their duty to help us, because they are encouraged to do so, and their voters also encourage them, so canada will remain the unequivocal leader, everyone, help and will do everything everything everything is possible, could it be more possible, could it be, but again, because of all these balancing factors, if they try not to forget about those who brought them to this power, by the way, there are no such negative attitudes among local residents because of that that they found themselves in a difficult

situation and ukraine needs to be helped and there is no such sentiment of rhetoric that perhaps there is no need to help there so much financially because we ourselves are barely surviving here because such theses are heard in germany, for example , it can be isolated theses they are, of course, like any country, especially they also arise against the background of a comparison yes , with parallel programs for forced migrants, or, say, refugees from afghanistan , too, who receive much less help, well, for some objective reasons in the plan er, there is a struggle for one's country. that is, it is only about the transfer of those who can leave and who have cooperated with canada. well, there are their own peculiarities, that's why

such theses occasionally arise, er, but the general line of the political community in all parties and in principles population in general, it is constantly in the news in support of ukraine, only in support of countries in the newspapers that we receive and i see it in the office, and in general in the press that circulates . of course, it is all in support of ukraine and condemnation of russia, that is, everyone understands this necessity we can say that everyone is unanimous in this, so we have nothing to worry about in terms of aid to ukrainian refugees. by the way, did you withhold this aid or not because you flew under the program and i flew in first on my business visa but it ended for me in the middle of the summer, so i had to fall for this program, which is for ukrainians, and everyone who was an intern had

to get a work permit for work, which is also included in this general program, a special one issued by canada for ukrainians, so yes, i am currently here according to a special canadian program for forced migrants from ukraine, a one-time correct payment and in what amount it goes eh yes payment a one-time eh payment in the amount of 3,000 canadian dollars is um somewhere two and a half thousand if i'm not mistaken , viewers can google currency exchange rates to find out more. but yes, this is a one-time aid in some provinces. i know. they also allocate separate aid for ukrainians, for this you need to apply through the city councils. hmm, write to them to ask, no, not in all provinces i know it is, but some have it in different

sizes, depending on the situation, the presence of children in the family, and everything else. for ukrainians, two and a half thousand dollars sounds cool now, because in our country, well, not many people can earn such a salary there we are not talking about pensions, social benefits, but i don't know how much it is for canada. it's a significant amount. what is the minimum standard of living there? salary, for example, in canada, the standard of living is quite high, especially considering inflation . all these processes, e.e., inflation, the cost of housing, the cost of medical services, for example, dental services, the cost of child care. it is quite high and it is a big burden on families. therefore, canada now

also makes a lot of payments in such subsidizing the most vulnerable sections of the population, and i can say that i don’t want to make a mistake in the minimum wage . the family's annual income is somewhere around $30,000 - 10 30% taxes uh, that's it, it will work out well, i don't know how much it will be, there's one and a half thousand dollars, maybe 2000 canadian dollars per month, uh, half of that if well, no more sometimes, well , let's say half of it will be taken by the rent houses, if people rent, and most people rent houses, because buying a house in canada is very expensive in some provinces. it can reach more than a million canadian dollars for

a house, so half of it is eaten, for example, by renting a house, and then paying for utilities due to the increase in gas prices, household expenses increase consumption is increasing. well, this cost of domestic consumption of gas and heat is also, by the way, now for communal services and for housing rent, or maybe the parliament will provide some kind of housing? for myself, i just work here, and i pay for my housing and i pay for my utilities, i pay for my travel, i pay for my clothes, food, all the benefits, well, at least for travel. well, there are some benefits and privileges also, uh, working in the canadian parliament there is no free subway ride, as even our people’s deputies there have or what they use to ride the subway for the most part. yes, no, unfortunately, but life is expensive,

and that’s why these two and a half thousand us dollars or 3,000 canadian dollars that they pay out once is in order to probably have a little settle somewhere for the first time find housing at least, and the housing is given empty , there is nothing at all, that is, apart from the fact that you are renting housing, you have to buy furniture here. when you come here for the first time, it is not like you have lived here all your life and you have something left from each apartment somewhere taurus, well , it is a small one you need to buy all the trinkets, all the furniture, and then take them with you, where to take them with you, well, or sell them, that is, i think that this war has taught most of us to live today and adapt to the circumstances in which you find yourself, i now find myself here all i can do is work and create comfort in this place now and

then the time will come i will think about what to do next for us that's why but renting housing is really very very expensive for me it takes well also more about half and half of the salary well, the salaries in the canadian parliament are good, because with the ukrainian parliament, as far as advisers and assistants are concerned, it is quite interesting that we have a part of advisers, an official part , an unofficial part, some are paid from the state budget, and some are paid from their personal pockets on public grounds, they work for people's deputies. well, everything here is like in a fog a little bit in ukraine. i'm sure that in canada it's different, but it's interesting. is this the average wage level or the minimum wage? it's probably the average, a little above the average, sometimes,

for canadian deputies here they receive uh, where am i specially yesterday by the way, i looked because i knew you would ask this question because it is very interesting information uh, 189,500 canadian dollars per month, almost 190,000 dollars per year per year, that is, per year well, i thought it was already a month nothing . you are interested in how much you get in your hands here, not so here, you should be interested in how much you give to the state. therefore, you then have an interest in keeping this state accountable, that is why they calculate it as annual income, they pay taxes, they are somewhere around 30, i pay 38 percent taxes for example from

your salary and this also varies from various factors, firstly from the level of income, then from your family status, if you are married or not married if you have children, they do not have children, there is someone dependent on you, that is, you also vary you can reduce your taxes due to these certain life circumstances. well, the maximum level of taxes i see is 38%. that's why i live in two countries in general, i pay taxes in ukraine, i also pay taxes in canada, i will be a responsible citizen, that's why you can calculate 190,000 canadian dollars - about 35%, well, let's take the average amount and for a month it will be somewhere around $10,000, somewhere canadian yes, maybe a little more if the deputy occupies some other responsible position in the plan, the head of some committee, his salary will increase salary or a ministerial

position, of course there is an additional allowance and somewhere uh, that is, the salary can vary from 10,000 $ per month somewhere to 15-16, there can be a little more. advisers are not paid like that. well, it's called an adviser, that's why we can understand. how can we think about it? it's not on a volunteer basis. some people came and went. sometimes we don't know until the end. maybe there are some functional ones. well, there are different circumstances. it all depends on the people and on different, here is the position, well, if it were a working ordinary one, i get money at the expense of canadian taxpayers, i work for the state of canada, i work for the government, in fact, the salary of assistants is the maximum, they recently raised the maximum bar for this salary to 100 hundred

another hundred thousand dollars a year uh, recently they did it in june because inflation and very high high level of responsibility very high intensity of work overtime hours uh and started to riot uh civil servants that very low salary for a very high workload and with all of these factors taken into account, in june 22nd this bar was raised, but no one will receive this high bar anyway, there is still an agreement between deputies and deputies to pay less than this maximum well, first of all, this also has its own political aspects in the sense that it is taxpayers' money, but if it was, let's not waste it, that's why the

maximum amount that people can receive here is somewhere in the region of 75 and 70,000 dollars a year - 38, for example, my maximum interest per month - it is somewhere between four and three and a half, somewhere from even 3,000 dollars a month to four thousand dollars a month, which is not a very high salary for a for a comfortable life in this country, yes it's clear that we don't have much time left, i really wanted to ask you a lot of questions, let's talk about business then, because i think certain categories of ukrainians will be interested in how easy or, on the contrary, it is to open a business in canada. i know what you are planning or already it is possible to open an office of your international communication agency, how realistic is it and how much bureaucracy

is it realistic to open a businessman from the point of view of legality, yes, if from the point of view of bureaucracy it is not so difficult, but it is necessary understand that in order to do business in canada in general, to work in canada you need to have a high level of english. that is, you must communicate in english, and in order to open a business here, you will need to contact lawyers, that is, you can do it yourself. it is possible, but it is quite difficult although you can also apply online, i want to thank you right away. once again, i assure everyone that ukraine is very progressive in terms of its electronic services and any services in general. in canada, everything is a little conservative. you know banking services to open a business it seems that it is already possible online, but it is not completely possible

online, you still have to submit certain things there through lawyers, that is why we opened our branch here, yes, that is, we now have a registered business in canada called good politics er corporation here in canada, we will also be engaged in communications and lobbying, er, we have a registered name, well , in general, how can they do where other companies of any other direction, you can register the name of your company throughout in canada, it will be valid - you are booked in all provinces, but if the owner decides to work in different provinces, he will have, well, he will also be obliged to submit tax residency in each separate province separately, because canada is a federal state and has its own provincial governments that is, they will register your name federally for you, but as a tax resident you will register in the province where you live, for example, but where you are or where you

know for sure that you will have, uh, your first customers there, you will have your basic business stay er for us, this is ontario, for example, yes, where i am in the capital, ottawa, the province of ontario. by the way, this is one of the most expensive provinces in general from the point of view of taxes. well, but we are already here. that is, we are already here, people to save money. for convenience, they open tax residency, for example on the map, is it like this for you, the western and northern regions there are a little lower, the tax burden for business can be that, but you must definitely hire a legal company that will fully accompany you in this process and is needed there will be an accountant because, well, of course, you can figure it out on your own, especially at the beginning. while you are still just starting to look for your clients there, but when you get a little on your feet, 100% you need an accountant who will

report on this whole system, it is confusing . if it were in ukraine it's confusing here, everyone figures it out on their own. and when you come to another country, you want to know that everything will be fine with you. because here it's very easy to charge people with any violations, in which the court system works. thank god very much well, why would we, yes, we would like to have it in ukraine as well, but then it imposes a smell and a certain responsibility, restrictions and fears, you said that you need to know english at a very good level. and you already had a good level of english? you pulled it up already during an internship in the canadian parliament. i was lucky. my parents always bet on the language, especially my mother. it is close to me since childhood

. i studied at school, then i always worked. i always had international clients. this was the language when i came here and i recently passed the test here, by the way, they confirmed that i have a level - that's two, that's two, this throat can find out. the highest level in the system of this evaluation it's really cool that's why the bathhouse give us some life hacks maybe what works the most how to learn english faster what helped you learn it faster practice and don't be afraid i was once given this advice and it opened my eyes if you know er, in general, the way is further, not everyone knows at least two languages, yes, mostly most people in general on the planet they know one of their native languages, even er, where are the americans or canadians they know their english there, well, mostly

if a person knows more than their native language this is already a huge advantage, this is already a huge plus, and even if you make mistakes, even if you speak with an accent, which is natural . an effort to learn something more than the language she was born with, well, about the accent, i don't understand why people are worried at all. well, if i'm ukrainian, why should i speak there with an american or canadian accent? it's logical that if i live there for many, many years, maybe the accents will change. and yes it's really natural to learn and try to reach that level ani because it's a really cool business that you have together with your fiance maksym dzhigun, viewers of espresso basically know him because he was also on my broadcasts very often as a political expert, an international

expert, a communication expert, and you also have me . how did you manage to maintain such a good , strong romantic relationship, because i know that in 2021, if i'm not mistaken, you got engaged, it was a very beautiful ceremony in paris like dreams , all the girls, and maybe now the editor will be able to show the photos, the video from there, it will be interesting to watch, here it is, this certificate, let's say that the war separated you somewhat, just like many thousands of families found themselves in this situation. in the same condition as you, how are you in general communicate how do you maintain your relationship yes it was really a very medical certificate er and every girl and every guy i think dreams against anyway such an important moment that is

bright in life and especially when it is in such an er place then it is certainly not always you, your heart is tied later to that place, also with these memories. and i really got engaged, we were already engaged more than a year ago, we planned a wedding for september of the 22nd year, but of course, because of the war , all this was postponed until now for an indefinite period, uh, we are already together for four almost years we love each other and call each other all the time, we are always in touch, and we correspond, we call, uh, uh, skype, zuma, uh, facetime and everything possible max is very attentive, he always sends me flowers, the security in my office downstairs already knows that if you will, a person came with a box to a girl whose last name they have difficulty pronouncing. this is a delivery from my fiance . he sends me flowers. i recently had

a birthday. he uh and balloons. i spent my birthday here on my own all my friends are related to others continents in ukraine, i was in other countries but despite this distance, we still keep in touch, we are always very open, we always communicate, that is, communication here is the key to success, and you see, it is important not only for business, it is incredibly important in relationships we never have such misunderstandings, yes, or if there are any, if misunderstandings are always open , especially when we are at a distance, if you know, well, laugh, if you don't like something, well, we can tell each other directly, you know, well, you're screwing me, and then we'll figure out why we are with each other we can hang up, but all this is because of humor. humor helps a lot, yes, advice , a couple at a distance, humor, frankness, so that it is as small as possible, maybe someday you will be close and

you have a mistake where some kind of cream is already starting. and when this connection is still at a distance, what is it still breaks the image, he breaks the voice like that, then we turn on for the last time so we saw each other for five months in a row and only saw each other in december, it took us about a day just to adapt to each other again because he still breaks the video connection perception, he breaks the perception of the voice, gestures. and you already perceive this person in a different way. find this person in the virtual world, then in reality you have to adapt a little. well, we try because one of us has one common goal. we have a common vision of the future and this continues. zazano 10 seconds anya, you will return to ukraine and the bad answer will be back. of course, i just want to do what i can now that depends on me who are here in canada for the benefit of all of us and then be able to travel at all
