John Manley talks on a Canadian Global Affairs Institute podcast on the priorities for Canada's new minority federal government. 

John says that Canada is now more than ever alone in the world—and we need multilateralism more than any other time in our history. Multilateralism is the cornerstone of Canadian foreign policy and we need the relationships and friendships it brings. We also need engagement with countries, including ones we do not agree with.

John also talks about the importance of diplomacy for Canada, the equalization system and electoral reform.
