The pathway of peace will lead to the safe return to their homes of nearly one million Kosovar Albanians.</p>\n<p>The international community now faces the formidable challenge of reconstruction of a war-scarred, devastated land; of ensuring a secure, democratic and self-governing Kosovo; and of stabilizing the entire situation in southeast Europe. It will be the most complex peace implementation operation in modern times.</p>\n<p>We acknowledge, with pride, the contributions of our Canadian Armed Forces in this theatre of war and wish them well as they enter into a perilous peacekeeping deployment.</p>\n<p>Peace in the Balkans is here at last, thank God.</p>",
