President John Evans Atta Mills on Wednesday said the tenets of democracy must be followed and the best practices learned if Ghana has chosen to tread that path. He praised Canada as a shining example of democracy with a good track record of law and order. President Mills made the observation at the Osu Castle in Accra, when a delegation of legislators from the Canada Africa Parliamentary Association, on a visit to Ghana paid a courtesy call on him. The delegation was led by Madam Raynell Andreydock, co-chair of the Association. President Mills, a legal expert who lectured in a Canadian university for more than a year, said for him, Canada occupied a special place and was a special friend to Ghana. He wished the delegation success, saying "I hope the visit will be useful." Madam Andreydock, expressed the need for African parliamentary bodies to play their roles in a more co-ordinated manner at the regional and Pan African levels. Source: GNA
