I'm curious to get the views of the other panellists on this point.
If I could follow up on that, Mr. McRae, so I understand how this would play out, let's suppose hypothetically that Turkey got itself into a conflict as a result, at least in large part, of its own aggressive intervention. Canada reasonably says that we're not going to participate, and most other NATO countries say that as well. Presumably it would be up to us to decide not to contribute under article 5. Article 5, as you mentioned, says that nations determine the way in which they contribute.
Doesn't that, as an effect, mean that the country has put itself outside of NATO in terms of operational significance? As much as it continues to be part of meetings, which maybe influence what can or cannot be discussed in those meetings, the operational implications are the same as if they had left. Is that fair?
