Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Deputy Prime Minister.
Faced with the bitter failure of the efforts deployed by the international community to bring to an end the conflict in Bosnia, France and the United Kingdom went one step further today towards a pullout of troops from Bosnia, when they asked NATO and the UN to examine the conditions of an eventual withdrawal of their contingents of peacekeepers.
Is the Deputy Prime Minister in a position to report on the progress of the ongoing negotiations and tell us whether the Canadian government is also contemplating the pullout of its own peacekeepers?
