I would like to congratulate the Canadian Nurses Association on your centennial, and to thank all the nurses here and across the country who have dedicated their lives to caring for our fellow Canadians.
I have spoken with Mr. Manley and advised him that our Government broadly accepts the recommendations put forward by the panel on Canada's future in Afghanistan.
I am pleased to announce that Saskatchewan’s new Government has agreed to be a partner in the Community Development Trust. This major new national initiative will support provincial and territorial efforts to help communities and workers buffeted by international economic turbulence that is beyond their control.
