The first paragraph in the preamble would read as follows:
WHEREAS in 1956 the Minister of External Affairs, the Right Honourable Lester B. Pearson, proposed the first United Nations peacekeeping mission and, since that time, Canada has been a leader in keeping the peace around the world, with more than one hundred thousand members of the Canadian Forces participating in peacekeeping and peace support operations--
--instead of missions--
--along with many members of the Canadian police services, diplomats and civilians;
Would that capture what the members want to do?
