I'll be very quick.
In your opening comments on the potential African missions under UN command you said you're going to maintain some control. Of course that's been a concern of the official opposition. Who is in command of our troops and how do we prevent what happened in Rwanda repeating itself?
We heard this in our defence policy review consultations as our veterans and some of your predecessors have been quite vocal about putting Canadian troops under UN command again.
How are we going to mitigate the problems with the much lighter bureaucracy within the United Nations with keeping our troops safe, as well as allowing them to do the job we're sending them there to do?
