The aim of the Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association is to increase knowledge of the concerns of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly among parliamentarians. The Assembly has its headquarters in Brussels but is completely independent of the official NATO structure. It provides a forum for parliamentarians from the NATO member countries to study and discuss matters of common concern during its spring and autumn sessions. During recent years, my work with the Assembly has included developing formal links with the democratic assemblies in the countries who were formally members of the now extinct Warsaw Treaty Organization or the Soviet Union.

Now in my role as Chair of the Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association I will be working even harder to inform my colleagues, constituents, and Canadians from coast to coast about the important role NATO plays and Canada’s vital work within the Alliance.
