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.”
