Trade Talks Today

Thursday, March 30, 2006 03:46 AM

Prime Minister Harper, meets with U.S President George Bush and Mexican President Vicente Fox in Cancun today and tomorrow. The sessions are expected to focus on trade and security issues. That means the softwood lumber dispute is sure to come up.

Prince George North MLA Pat Bell says "Premier Gordon Campbell has spoken with the Prime Minister, and Mr. Harper has made it clear he is dead serious about resolving the matter."

Will it mean there will be good news coming out of the Meixcan visit? "I wouldn't expect a resolution right away" says Bell, but he adds "When you have a new Prime Minister, its like starting the file fresh".

I am so pleased that Prime Minister Harper has been so pro-active in supporting our Canadian Troops, a resolution to our softwood problems and visible in International concerns.

I am confident that he will be successful in improving many areas that a resolution couldn't be found in the past.

We need to support his efforts. The time will come when PM Harper's successes will be cheered and appreciated.

He has been elected to turn around a terrible mess in our Parliament. He has an ominous task ahead of him and he needs all of our support and encouragement, not our criticism.

Wouldn't it be nice if all of those people who want to cover our PM would try to find the good in what he is trying to accomplish, rather than pick apart and criticise every single thing he does? Percy
