I want to pick up on the comment you just made about what Canada no longer is. We are not able to have the same strength of voice that we had at the table.
I was at a Battle of the Atlantic commemoration ceremony yesterday, where I was reminded that Canada gained that respect because of the incredible power we had militarily, the way we punched above our weight and the fact that we finished the Second World War as the third-largest navy in the world. I can't help but contrast that with the way our government was less than clear about its position on Iran. Over a series of days, we struggled to figure out exactly where Canada was heading.
What do we need to do to move forward and have that credible voice again?
