All of a sudden, loved ones are gone, and there is a huge sense of loss and grieving. I think the message I drew out of that in terms of best practice

Transport committee  That's part of the art of diplomacy. As someone who was actively involved in the political life of Canada for some 45 or 50 years, I'm still on a learning curve of transitioning from politics to diplomacy, but I think it is important to be absolutely clear about what we feel abou

Transport committee  I think the government needs to keep all of these options open and pursue this whole issue in a strategic, step-by-step manner going forward, hopefully not alone.
