It is obvious that the world is characterized by enormous inequality among states, and that people can have extremely different rights and opportunities depending on where they are lucky or unlucky enough to be born.

I would like to see a better integration of the three pillars of security, prosperity and values. For example, promoting human rights and prosperity for all the world's people is an essential long-term investment in both security and prosperity for Canada. Yet Canada's foreign aid as a perce |

The three pillars, Security, Prosperity, and Values and Culture, as set out in the paper, seem, in fact to be six pillars, or three pillars, each with two feet, one planted in Canada and one planted abroad.
The security pillar needs to be re-engineered as having only one foot and that is for the |
