OTTAWA: December 27, 2007. Deepak Obhrai, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Member of Parliament for Calgary East, joins the Honourable Maxime Bernier, Minister of Foreign Affairs, in condemning the assassination of Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto:
Earlier today Minister Bernier stated, "Canada condemns in the strongest terms this attack on the restoration of Pakistan's efforts to return to full democracy.
