A Dialogue with Canada's Minister of

On Tuesday, March 4th, The Cadre was, thrilled and honoured to be given ah’ opportunity to speak with Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bill Graham. UPEI Dean of Arts, Richard Kutlabivas instrumental in securing the interview for the campus paper. All other local media was denied direct access to the Minister.

Upon being introduced to Graham, I was immediately impressed with his charismatic and intelligent man- ner. With only a few minutes available for the interview, and with members of his entourage pushing for Graham to provide me with little more than a handshake, I dove directly into my questions.

I asked Graham about his "Dialogue on Foreign Policy" project, which resulted in his visit to UPEI. Along with public meetings where individuals are able to voice their concerns, Graham explained that a government website exists which allows Canadians directly to learn about — and comment on — Canada's for-

And it's growing — the number of people that are logging onto it and reading the document itself. It's inter- active so that's kind of exciting."

On the website it is explained that Canada's foreign policy is separated into three sections, or "pillars." Graham com- mented on the system and was quick to point out that all three pillars are of great importance to Canadians: "Basically, we have separated our foreign policy into three pillars: Security, Prosperity, and

Cultures and Values. The fact of the mat- ter is they are all linked. The security pil- lar depends a lot on creating prosperity in poor countries where terrorism and desper- ation is bred by poverty and disease. They are all connected. Everything gets mixed up together but it's helpful to analyse them separately."

With Graham being the first to bring up the topic of "terrorism," I decided to question him about the changing state of the World in recent years. He had this to say: "The fact of the matter is that since September 11 the security end is different. Asymmetric threats posed by terrorism are different from the type of Cold War prob- lems that our military had to face in the past. Similarly there are changes in the prosperity end of things. We are becoming a country more of the Americas, we are
