If I Am To Be Known For Anything, I Would Like It To Be For Encouraging Canadians, For Knowing A Little Bit About Their Daily, Extraordinary Courage. And For Wanting That Courage To Be Recognized.

We Send Our [peacekeepers] Off To Some Disputed Zone, Full Of Local Intrigue And Power Blocs And Uncertainty And Danger, And They Are Supposed To Save Lives Not With Their Weapons, But Through Their Competence And Their Character. And They Do It.

I Fear That By Gaining A Limit, We'll Lose An Excuse.
