UN General Assembly
1991

Canada is determined not only to honour those words but also to ensure that the Organisation, which we have long supported in the ideals that it represents, has the means to put them into practice. Canadians want to live on a planet that is peaceful, prosperous and just. We have it here in the Assembly in our power to build such a world. We build it nation by nation, individual by individual, and collectively here together. We are encouraged by recent events and the role that the United Nations has played in those events. Let us, as the United Nations, move from strength to strength for all the peoples of the world.
