If we do not step forward, then we step back. If we do not protect a right, then we deny it.
From Paul Martin
As a people, we know what we can do, we know how to do it, and we just want to get on with it. How? By ensuring that Canada's place in the world is one of influence and pride.
For years governments have been promising more than they can deliver, and delivering more than they can afford.
I rise in support of a Canada in which liberties are safeguarded, rights are protected and the people of this land are treated as equals under the law.
At a moment that comes rarely in the life of a country. It is a time when destiny is ours to hold.
Every Canadian who wants to learn should have the opportunity to do so.
Have you ever, on a cloudless night, looked down from a passing aircraft flying over Canada? Endless, glowing strings of cities, towns, and homesteads. Stretching on and on, one province to the next. With only the stars in the distance.
I really think Canada should get over to Iraq as quickly as possible.
The achievements we forge in this place and in our nation will not be those of one person or one party.
The people of Canada have worked hard to build a country that opens its doors to include all, regardless of their differences; a country that respects all, regardless of their differences; a country that demands equality for all, regardless of their differences.
