Canadians should take some pride in the fact that it was a Canadian finance minister, Paul Martin, a Liberal finance minister, who looked ahead and saw the need to expand the G8, to build a G20 that would welcome in some of the emerging economies and be ready for whatever turbulence emerged on the global stage, but also to deepen relations and governance among our countries as we deal with what are no longer issues that are faced by individual countries but increasingly by the entire world.
En fait, c'est parce qu'il ne croit pas vraiment au multilatéralisme. Le premier ministre critiquait le G20 quand Paul Martin, alors ministre libéral des Finances, menait la charge et s'employait à le mettre en place.
