Minister MacKay, as you all know, has deep roots in Atlantic Canada and is very familiar with PEI and its provincial government. He will serve Islanders well in our new cabinet.

Minister Farrakhan's progress means he's gone from talking the talk to walking the walk for our rights. This is a big victory for the community. Showing support for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender African-Americans in such a visible and meaningful way means we're on the right road. We look forward to continued work with the minister and the Millions More Movement.

Minister Borja has taken on a firm commitment to keep fiscal spending under control. That for us is good news.

Mr Brown will clearly look to take advantage of the budget to further his credentials to take over as prime minister from Mr Blair.

Mr Blair has made history and no one's more pleased than me that we've got a Labour prime minister in for a third term. No-one's more pleased than me. We put our money, and our people and our efforts, where our mouth is. We've done that as a whole trade union movement not just the T&G.

Of course there is a risk. But ... neither Gordon Brown nor Tony Blair had even been a junior minister before they took up their present responsibilities. So sometimes these risks are justified.

Of course, I will fight for the post of prime minister in the parliamentary elections,

I was so despondent, wondering what I am going to do, and then the minister herself called.

I would even go out on a limb and say Minister Farrakhan has been cured.

I would definitely call this a historic decision. A mainline denomination like the Presbyterian Church said for the first time that an acting minister has the right to perform same-sex marriages.

I am therefore stepping aside as Minister of Finance and Chair of Management Board of Cabinet pending a resolution of this issue,

Bush, and Blair, and the prime minister of Japan, and Berlusconi, these people are criminals, and they are responsible for mass murder in the world, for the war, and for the occupation, through their support for Israel, and through their support for a globalized capitalist economic system, which is the biggest killer the world has ever known.

I have never had either the passion, or the interest, or the circumstances of meeting him, it's very curious, I guess these are the necessary paradoxes that lead one to be prime minister of the government.

I can't imagine any other Canadian prime minister trying to manipulate public opinion by hiding the caskets of fallen soldiers. He hopes that out of sight is out of mind. Canadians are not going to accept that.

Given a strong concern that (politics) would plunge into huge confusion if the prime minister pushes with revision, there is a view that the pregnancy actually rescued him and he is still in luck.
