Answer:
For a society to continue to prosper (and not decline), we Canadians should aggressively advocate such high values as human rights, democracy, respect for diversity and gender equality in all parts of the world. Canada is known throughout the world for its peace-keeping efforts and giving humanitarian aid to poor countries. And if we continue in this tradition and advocate the above mentioned values, Canada will become a role model for other nations.

The best ways of advocating the high values are through dialogue and conferences with other countries. Let us invite representatives from other countries to visit Canada and study our society. In this way there will be exchange of ideas and mutual appreciation for such high values.
Thanks, M.Rafi
