Question 3: The 1995 Policy Review and Since

Canada is a member of many international organizations, including the G8, NATO, the Commonwealth, La Francophonie, the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum (APEC), the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Arctic Council. Should our participation in any of these be strengthened, or adjusted?

Answer:
participation in international organizations is good. Dialogue is good and should be encouraged especially when we in Canada are leading and being supportive of peaceful relationships and negotiating solutions to conflict, and participating in international police actions towards peacekeeping.

In this regard the United Nations is the most important international intitution and must be strengthened. It must be democratized! It must be empowered to act for the world and not merely as an agent of a few
powerful countries.
