Je me trouve en ce moment dans un
e position très particulière, parce que je dois défendre mon propre pays quand les gens me posent des questions similaires sur les politiques canadiennes: « Pourquoi le Canada adopte-t-il ces politiques? » C
ela ne me cause pas vraiment d'embarras personnel comparativement aux effets que ce recul pourrait avoir sur le rôle de chef de file bien mérité et vanté du Canada dans tous ces domaines depuis d
...[+++]es années. I find myself now in the very peculiar position of having to defend my own country when people approach me with some of the same questions about what's happening with Canadian policy: “Why are these positions being taken by your country?” My personal embarrassment at this is very small in comparison with the potential consequences of this backsliding in Canada's vaunted and well-
deserved leadership role on all of these issues for quite a number of years, and I think Canada should regain a leadership role in the
G8, along with the rest of our G8 colleague ...[+++]s, and basically show the wider community of nations the direction in which we should be going on maternal mortality.
