下议院演讲稿 篇1
mr. speaker, in recent months, the international community has reacted, with virtually unanimous outrage and alarm at the rise of isil, the so-called ‘islamic state of iraq and the levant.’
isil has established a self-proclaimed caliphate, at present stretching over a vast territoryroughlyfromaleppo to near baghdad,fromwhich it intends to launch a terrorist jihad notmerely against the region but on a global basis.
indeed it has specifically targeted canada and canadians, urging supporters to attack, quote, ‘disbelieving canadians in any manner’, vowing that we should not feel secure even in ourhomes.
it would be convenient to dismiss such statements as the mere rambling of lunatics were itnot for the fact that isil’s deeds have been fully in line with its words.
more shockingly, isil’s words are matched by its actions.
in the territory isil has occupied it has conducted a campaign of unspeakable atrocitiesagainst the most innocent of people.
it has tortured and beheaded children, it has raped and sold women into slavery, it hasslaughtered minorities, captured prisoners and innocent civilians whose only crime is being orthinking differentlyfromisil.
indeed by late last summer, isil stood on the brink of committing large-scale genocide innorthern iraq.
it was at that moment that canada’s allies in the international community, led by presidentobama, decided to intervene.
canadians have joined in this response.
on september 5th, i announced that members of the canadian army, in a non-combat role,would advise and assist security forces in iraq battling the terrorists.
we had already begun, through the royal canadian air force, moving weapons and suppliesdonated by our allies to security forces in northern iraq.
and we indicated that canada was prepared to do more.
today we are bringing forward a motion asking this house to confirm its confidence for agovernment decision to join our allies and partners – the united states, the united kingdom,france, australia, denmark, the netherlands, belgium, jordan, saudi arabia, bahrain, theunited arab emirates and likely others – in launching air strikes against isil.
in addition to these air strikes, the government of canada will, in response to requestsfromiraqi authorities as well as other allies and partners, continue to assist in other, non-combat,counter-terrorism roles.
we will also contribute one air-to-air refuelling aircraft, two aurora surveillance aircraft, andthe necessary air crews and support personnel.
in addition we are extending the deployment in a non-combat role of the up to 69 membersof the canadian army advising and assisting security forces in iraq.
there will however be no ground combat mission, which is explicitly ruled out in theresolution.
these contributions are for a period of up to six months.
let me be clear on the objectives of this intervention.
we intendto significantly degrade the capabilities of isil.
specifically, its ability to either engage in military movements of scale, or to operate basesin the open.
this will halt isil’s spread in the region and greatly reduce its capacity to launch terroristattacks outside the region.
to be clear, this will not eliminate isil nor automatically ensure that alternative governanceis able to occupy its space in iraq or syria.
it will, however, open the opportunity for others to do so.
but again to be clear, while isil will not be eliminated, the risks presentedfromthe territoryin which it operates will be significantly reduced to those of other similar ungoverned spaces inthe broader region.
there are, mr. speaker, two other matters on which i wish to elaborate.
first, the resolution confirms the government of canada’s intention to strike isil and itsallies.
we will strike isil where and only where canada has the clear support of the government ofthat country.
at present this is only true in iraq.
if it were to become the case in syria, then we will participate in air strikes against isil inthat country also.
the revulsion of the government of canada to the actions of the assad regime is well known.
but we are participating only in a counter-terrorism operation against the terrorists aroundisil.
we have no intention of participating in a war against the government of any country in theregion.
second, let me assure canadians that the government is seized with the necessity of avoidinga prolonged quagmire in this part of the world.
the actions we have announced are ones that could beended with relative ease.
indeed, we and our allies are acting now precisely to avoid a situation that was clearly headedto a wider, protracted and much more dangerous conflict.
let me also say that the military measures we are taking do not in any way precludehumanitarian actions.
there is no either/or here.
in response to horrifying human suffering, we have already been providing emergency shelterand urgent health care for thousands of civilians in iraq through support to humanitarianorganizations on the ground, and substantial assistance to the government of iraq.
this is in addition to large scale financial assistance already being furnished to the significantnumber of countries in the region that have been impacted by the humanitarian catastrophein syria.
let me also assure canadians that the government will continue to be seized with the broaderterrorist threats against canada.
we have strengthened laws in this country to deal with the issue of so-called canadian foreignfighters.
we have broadened the grounds for passport revocation against such people as well asallowing for the stripping of citizenshipfromdual nationals who engage in terrorist activities.
we will soon bring forward additional measures to strengthen the ability of our securityservices to monitor aspiring terrorists to where possible prevent their return to canada or towhere that is not possible give greater tools to be able to charge and prosecute.
mr. speaker, to return to the matter before us today, i urge all members to consider and tosupport the motion we have presented.
i do this, mr. speaker, in recognizing that in a democracy, especially one approaching anelection, there is rarely political upside in supporting any kind of military action and little riskin opposing it.
nevertheless, for regional and global security and, of course, the security of canadians, thisaction is necessary.
the evidence of the necessity of this, mr. speaker, there is none better than the fact that themission has been launched by president obama, the leader who had withdrawn americantroops and proudlyended the war in iraq.
of course, mr. speaker, one could say that while the mission is evidently necessary, we don’thave to be the ones doing it because others will.
but, mr. speaker, throughout our history that has never been the canadian way.
it has never been the canadian way to do only the most easy and praiseworthy of actions and toleave the tough things for others.
indeed, mr. speaker, colleagues, we should be under no illusion.
if canada wants to keep its voice in the world, and we should since so many of our challengesare global, being a free rider means you are not taken seriously.
the threat posed by isil is real.
and it is grave.
and it is explicitly directed, in part, against this country.
left unchecked, this terrorist threat can only grow and grow quickly.
as a government we know our ultimate responsibility is to protect canadians and to defendour citizensfromthose who would do harm to us or our families.
we also know that our country, like our allies, shares the duty and burden of all free peoples, toact against wider global threats when it is in our capacity to do so.
and when our allies recognize and respond to a threat that would also harm us, wecanadians do not stand on the sidelines.
we do our part.
on monday, this house will debate the motion put forward for an air combat campaignagainst isil.
i call on all members of this house to show their support for this mission and of course oursupport for the brave men and women of the canadian armed forces who are now and alwaysready and willing to answer the call of their country.
下议院演讲稿 篇2
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!
I’m honored to share my feelings with you about Beijing Olympic games. The title of the speech is: A Scene to look forward I would like to begin with a story.
There was an elder who traveled all around the world to introduce China for bidding Olympic games. That special hard experience had rooted in his mind. After hearing the good news that China succeeded in the bid for hosting the 29th Olympic Games, he was so excited that he could not stop shedding tears, saying I had been waiting for the day since 1993, the happiest thing finally happened to China. The man is Mr. HeZhenliang, who has devoted his rest life to Chinese Olympic Games. It is with his spirit, passion, courage and strong sense of patriotism to China that we are taking our next step into the world.
Ladies and gentlemen, now I have a question for all of you who are sitting here. Do you still remember that memorable scene? Yes or no? Please put out your hands, let me see how many? Wow, a lot of people. The unforgettable moment is still lingering in your mind clearly.
At 10:08 P.M. on July 13th, 20XX, Mr. Samaranch, the former President of the International Olympic Committee, announced in Moscow that the sponsoring city of the 29th Olympiad will be the city of Beijing. Just at the same time in China, the excitement rippled through the Olympic conference room into Beijing, into the city and into the whole nation. The Chinese, abroad or at home, celebrated the successful great moment in various ways, like hugging each other, jumping, yelling, crying, drinking, singing, dancing and parading on the streets in the midnight. Modern China, a product of 5000 years of civilization and history, with her spirit of hard work and perseverance, finally shook hands with the Olympic games, fulfilling the long expected dream.
Now many Chinese are trying their best to do what they can do for the upcoming games. They learn English to communicate with foreigners. They get rid of bad habits to protect environments. They are eager to be volunteers to serve the Olympic Games. They introduce great Chinese tradition, culture and civilization to the world people. They apply for the torchbearers to carry on the message “share the peace, share the Olympics”.
At the moment when one-year countdown has marked, our Chinese people are getting ready for this big event. The Beijing Olympic committee organization is keeping the promise made in the bid. Under the guidance of the concept of the green Olympic, the tech-Olympic and the people’s Olympic, the 29th Olympic games will strengthen the communication, enhance the cooperation, and shorten the distance between China and the world.
Once again, I want to emphasize one point “national participation”. Like us, a common citizen, we strongly realize the responsibility of our own: planting more trees to cover the space, driving less to relieve the traffic jam, making full use of energy to reduce the pollution and so on. All these actions will not only improve our living environments, but also benefit our coming generation.
Next year in August 8th, Beijing will witness the world’s greatest sporting event, will bring Olympic values to one-fifth of the world’s population, will be one of the most exciting projects in Olympic history. Beijing, a main attraction to tourists, will stretch hands to give the world people a warm welcome, and all the guests will be impressed deeply by China’s state-of-the-art venues, comfortable city environments, enthusiastic volunteers and overwhelming public interest.
No matter who we are, what we do, where we go, in our mind, there’s always a scene to look forward, a scene worth our effort to wait for.
Thank you very much!
