  • "Canadians have played a major role in the process. In what has already been accomplished there is much of which we, collectively, can be proud. Individuals and groups of Canadians must continue to be active in pursuing landmine activities. The Canadian Landmine Foundation will encourage Canadians to maintain the lead and set the example for demining efforts across the globe."
    Hon. Lloyd Axworthy, former Foreign Affairs Minister, Director of the Canadian Landmine Foundation
