Part of the reason we're all committed to coordinated stimulus is we want to stimulate the global economy. We're in a global economy, not just our national economies.p

If you want to be a government in a minority Parliament, you have to work with other people.

It was the removing of a regime that was hostile, that clearly had the intention of constructing weapons systems.

I don't get into that second guessing of myself publicly.

It's the government's obligation to look really to the third parties to get the support to govern.

If we start thinking simply nationally, and we start having policies that try and restrict the benefits only within our borders, and try and implement protectionist measures as a consequence, this will not have the effect we need to have on the global economy. And that's ultimately the global economy that's pulling most of us down, particularly countries like Canada, that aren't the source of these current economic troubles.

I think in Atlantic Canada, because of what happened in the decades following Confederation, there is a culture of defeat that we have to overcome.
