Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The recent kidnapping of Canadian soldiers, the detention of other UN personnel and increased offensive action in and around Gorazde make it rather obvious that Serbian leaders have little appreciation or respect for the UN forces deployed in Bosnia or the will of the UN to take effective action.
The situation in Gorazde is at or even past the critical stage. Many people are dead, many more wounded and many are in imminent danger.
The Prime Minister has spoken with President Clinton and I understand cabinet met this morning. Has the government come to a decision as to whether to support the UN in its request for air strikes?
