Statement by the Prime Minister on violent demonstrations at the Summit of the Americas

November 04, 2005
Mar del Plata, Argentina

Prime Minister Paul Martin today commented on the violent demonstrations occurring at the Summit of the Americas in Mar del Plata, Argentina:

“I am dismayed and deeply troubled by the violence unfolding in Argentina during the Summit of the Americas. We in Canada believe in the free and frank exchange of ideas; peaceful demonstration is a part of this. We cannot allow the integrity of the peaceful exchange of ideas to be demeaned by the deplorable and reckless acts of a few.”
