Canada’s Politics and Government News Source Since 1989

World cooperation is more necessary now than ever before, and Parliament needs to come together

To build policies for common security, basic principles need to be agreed upon. Is there basic agreement within Canada’s Parliament for a human security agenda? As a new Parliament in Canada commences, it would be inspiring to see an expression of common beliefs on vital issues.

Liberal MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, left, Bloc Québécois MP Alexis Brunelle-Duceppe, NDP MP Heather McPherson, and Green MP Elizabeth May all signed Doug Roche's statement of principle. He sent the statement to five Members of Parliament from five different parties, and noted that if they signed, there would be no implication they were speaking for their party, just exercising their right as a Member of Parliament to express views.
