Mr. Speaker, as the Minister of National Defence said, our exchanges with our American colleagues go back a long time. We are not going to put a stop to these exchanges, which are very important to us and which have existed for decades. That tradition must not change. We must continue it with our allies, and we will stay there with our ships and personnel. However, this does not mean that we are at war with Iraq. We said that we advocate another solution.
