Prime
Minister Tony Blair's speech to Canadian Parliament, 23 February
2001
"There is a famous photograph of Sir Winston
Churchill in the Speaker's Office. He was here almost exactly 60 years
ago. He addressed this Parliament in Europe's darkest hour. In that
speech, he described how it had been confidently predicted that Britain
would fall as surely as other nations before the Nazi advance.
Times change. But some things remain constantly with
us.
I can pay Canada no greater compliment than this. All
nations have their reputations. As Prime Minister I deal with many
crises, often of an international nature. But I know and I bet I speak
for most of the Prime Ministers of my acquaintance in Britain and
abroad, that when we are told the Canadians are in on the act, whatever
the forum for decision, there is a sense of relief, the clouds part a
little, the confidence grows. People know your word is your bond. And
what's more, what you do, you do well. It's not a bad reputation to
have."
