Foreign Affairs

I have always believed that we are at our best as Canadians when we are serving as an example to the rest of the world. As Foreign Affairs critic for the Liberal Party of Canada I am working hard to hold our government accountable to that ideal.

Global Currents

Below are articles my Liberal colleagues and I have written on a variety of foreign affairs issues as part of a quarterly newsletter we produce called Global Currents. I invite you to read these articles and to contact my office at [email protected] if you'd like to have these newsletters emailed to you directly.

Also, please do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected] if you have any questions or comments about the Liberal Party's vision for Canadian foreign policy.
