Mr. Speaker, I answered that a little earlier and the Prime Minister has answered it. No.
We continue to remain extremely concerned about the plight of the 55 Canadians detained in Bosnia. We had assurances as late as yesterday that the Bosnian Serb forces will be releasing those people detained, including the Canadians. We hope they will discharge their promises at this particular time.
The reasoning the hon. member is using is not shared by the government. We are not wringing our hands. The deputy minister of foreign affairs was in Belgrade yesterday and gave a very stiff message to the president and foreign minister of Yugoslavia, as it is constituted in Belgrade.
Our Prime Minister has also been very forceful in demanding the return of the Canadians who are being detained.
When the Prime Minister returns later this evening we will be having further discussions with him. Perhaps we will be able to clarify our position and mollify the hon. member somewhat.
