Mr. Speaker, first of all, I want to deal with Canada's role on the world stage. I had the privilege of working for a prime minister who, the history of the world will show, was one of the great leaders on the world stage and helped move Canada forward on that stage with the respect of nearly everyone.
The popularity of, the current Prime Minister is even greater than my former boss'. His relationship with President Clinton is extraordinary. I am optimistic that if they get together with a few other leaders-the problems are the same for all-we can get the process started.
In response to the second point on the Tobin tax I say briefly that part of a new Bretton Woods would have to look seriously at the Tobin tax.
