Take note, because that's the answer.
That is an overriding factor. You're absolutely right. Not only that but we keep them in a false premise of the past. All the peacekeeping we used to do during the Cold War, when people wanted to do peacekeeping, chapter VI, was barely 3% of our efforts but it was 97% of our reputation with Canadians. Ninety-seven per cent of our work was how to shoot Russians. That's what we trained for. We trained down at the time for very simple, classic, very established peacekeeping under a flag that had an enormous amount of respect.
Now you're into a whole new spectrum of security that requires people to realize that peacekeeping is a role of a great nation. We're one of the 11 most powerful nations in the world. We have a responsibility to protect. We articulated it. We invented it. We still are fearful of operationalizing it. I would argue that this is not one party or another. This is the political elite of a nation that has embraced a dimension of its responsibility.
In 2017, you had 150th anniversary of Canada and you had the 100th anniversary of Vimy Ridge where we spilled the blood of our youth to become a nation. What an opportunity. All parties could have gotten together to focus us on what the future is and what Canada should do. One of them is to engage in peace and security for not only children, not only women, but peace and security in the world to advance the concept that all humans are equal.
