John Baird: The United Nations

Paul Dewar Dept: Baird responded with a straightforward "no" when asked in question period by NDP foreign affairs critic Paul Dewar whether the Conservatives want to pull out of the UN, according to CBC. Dewar said Conservative MPs have been tripping over each other to bash the UN and issue vague threats about it and foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said today that Canada has no intention of withdrawing from the United Nations, but will speak up when it has concerns about its actions. "I can say that from time to time, we have had concerns of actions of certain UN agencies, but by and large, we have a very good relationship with the UN," Baird said. 'The true enemies of the UN are those who sit quietly watching the decline.' John Baird, Canada's foreign affairs minister (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
