Premise: I still believe it is very essential to once again look at what we have been able to achieve to judge where we want to go in the future and also to look at the kind of priorities and targets we can set in the forthcoming years in order to ensure that the investment and the commitment which Canadians have made over the past several years both under the UN and NATO can be fulfilled.
Hypothesis: Canadians are thinking about what actions they need to do to accomplish the future they are setting out for themselves. To accomplish this they are going to use an important form of decision making, by looking into the past and what they have done.
