Canada quickly shifts into war mode: . . . Liberal MPs, some of whom are very frustrated, sat through another weekly caucus meeting in which there was little or no information about the government's plan in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. Instead, an MP read a poem about peace while others debated whether an Arab-Canadian art exhibit in Ottawa should have been postponed. Mr. Chrétien said it should not have. . . . Debate in the House this week has not involved the attacks either. Yesterday, as Air Canada and Bombardier let go thousands of workers, the business of the House involved the second reading of Bill C-33, legislation involving the Nunavut Waters and Nunavut Surface Rights Tribunal Act. . . . "Here we are and it took us six days for the House to come back, seven days for the Prime Minister to have his first Cabinet meeting. It will be three weeks, at the earliest, before the transport committee will resume," Mr. Moore said. "You just shake your head. The government should clear the plate and say we're going to deal with national security issues right now ... The Finance Minister [Paul Martin] should be working on a budget ... We should be acting as though we are in the state of an international crisis." nationalpost.com
