Colleagues, Mr. Chair, I think we need to look at this along a broader spectrum. First of all, as my colleague, Mr. Sorenson, said, leave the country to the signatories. And some people have said, well, Darfur and others have committed.... Now there's a difference between committed and threatened.
At the same time, what makes it Canada's responsibility? Israel has not taken any such action. What makes it our responsibility or duty to second-guess the decision taken by the Government of Israel for their own security?
Down the road, I don't need to tell the Honourable Irwin Cotler that there are huge other geopolitical considerations; otherwise the United States would have taken this action as well.
I think that if the country that is threatened has taken no action, why should we second-guess their...?
