I Fear That By Gaining A Limit,

If I Am To Be Known For Anything, I Would Like It To Be For Encouraging Canadians, For Knowing A Little Bit About Their Daily, Extraordinary Courage. And For Wanting That Courage To Be Recognized.

We Owe The Aboriginal Peoples A Debt That Is Four Centuries Old. It Is Their Turn To Become Full Partners, In Developing An Even Greater Canada. And The Reconciliation Required May Be Less A Matter Of Legal Texts Than Of Attitudes Of The Heart.

We Send Our [peacekeepers] Off To Some Disputed Zone, Full Of Local Intrigue And Power Blocs And Uncertainty And Danger, And They Are Supposed To Save Lives Not With Their Weapons, But Through Their Competence And Their Character. And They Do It.

I Fear That By Gaining A Limit, We'll Lose An Excuse.

The Hope Of Courage Lies In Every Heart, Together With The Fear That We Will Fail. When The Test Came, You Did Not Fail.
