Yes, well, thank you for that insight into parliamentary decorum.
Let me just change here. One of the reasons many Canadians are questioning the utility of NATO has to do with the unevenness of the contribution of various nations to the functions and tasks in NATO. Probably this became most obvious in the Libyan mission where Lieutenant-General Bouchard had significant difficulties with the various silos and the various contributions from various NATO nations, including (a) their economic capabilities, and (b) the caveats they would put on engagement.
Being in a theatre of conflict or a theatre of war is difficult at the best of times, but having various of your allies being able to go this far but not any further, or you can share this level of intelligence but not any further, creates some serious operational difficulties. Fortunately, the conflict went quickly and the difficulties of those caveats and economic circumstances were limited.
So the question I have, and I think this goes to the core of how NATO goes forward in the future, is this. What is the plan to overcome those limitations?
