We need to defeat al Queda and other terrorist organizations.

When I was Governor of Massachusetts, we worked to get Sable Island gas into New England.

Let me close as I did in Gander on September 11, 2002 when I went to that community to thank the people of Gander and the people of Canada for the overwhelming support and help that was given to us in the wake of those attacks on September 11, 2001.

Yet there is disappointment in Washington and in the United States that Canada is not supporting us fully.

But Canada remains a crucial partner in this global war on terrorism, and we are grateful for that. Canadian naval vessels, aircraft and military personnel continue anti-terrorist operations in the Persian Gulf.

We need to defeat al Queda and other terrorist organizations.

We already get more energy from Canada than from any other foreign country.
