1. Wide of news conference, US President George W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Felipe Calderon walking onto stage
2. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President:
"The Iraqi people made a great step towards reconciliation when they passed the most modern constitution in the Middle East and now their government's got to perform. And I think there's a certain level of frustration with the leadership in general, inability to work, come together to get, for example, an oil revenue law passed or provincial elections."
3. Harper and Calderon listening to Bush
4. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President:
"And the fundamental question is, will the government respond to the demands of the people? And if the government doesn't respond to the demands of the people, they will replace the government. That's up to the Iraqis to make that decision, not American politicians. The Iraqis will decide. They have decided they want a constitution. They have elected members to their parliament and they will make the decisions, just like democracies do."
5. Wide of news conference
6. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President:
"The contribution has been vast and it has been robust, and this government, along with this parliament, will make decisions about what's best for the Canadian people and the people of Afghanistan."
7. SOUNDBITE: (English) Stephen Harper, Canadian President:
"You know, I think we can all be very proud of the work the Canadian troops are doing in Afghanistan. Parliament will make its decision in due course, whether it wants to prolong the mission. But I think our difference there, our position there, our presence there, has made a real difference, in giving just a tiny bit of the freedom, the opportunity and the security that we have as Canadians, that we take for granted as Canadians."
8. Wide of Bush and Harper on stage
9. SOUNDBITE: (English) Stephen Harper, Canadian President:
"Canada, as you know, is fully committed to strengthening its Arctic sovereignty on every level, not just military, but economic, social, environmental, any other method, any other means. Canada and the US do have differences on certain aspects of the Northwest Passage. At the same time, since the agreements of Prime Minister (Brian) Mulroney and former President (Ronald) Reagan in the late 1980s, Canada and the United States have been able to manage these differences, and we think we'll be able to continue to do that."
10. SOUNDBITE: (English) George W. Bush, US President:
"There are differences on the Northwest Passage. We believe it's a international passageway. Having said that, the United States does not question Canadian sovereignty over its Arctic islands and the United States supports Canadian investments that have been made to exercise it's sovereignty."
11. Bush and Harper listening to Calderon
12. SOUNDBITE: (Spanish) Felipe Calderon, Mexican President:
"I think, and I'll tell you this very clearly, I think that as a region we are losing competitiveness in comparison with other regions in the world. And it's not a question of customs unions, let alone having an integration that would actually encroach on the sovereignty and culture and resources of each country. We simply have to take advantage of this opportunity of being neighbours and allies in order to generate prosperity and security for our people. And that is the purpose of these meetings."
13. Bush, Harper and Calderon shaking hands on stage
STORYLINE:
"The fundamental question is, will the government respond to the demands of the people," Bush said.
