Mr. Speaker, I understand I have only a few seconds left.
The member is advocating a military intervention at Akwasasne and outside of Akwasasne in an area some 40 miles long on the Canada-U.S. border. That may be the hon. member's idea on how to have laws respected. It is not mine. Heaven forbid that we would undertake an issue like that.
The other thing it would involve effectively is militarizing the Canada-U.S. border. The member knows how porous the border is and to shift an issue one mile either way is not very hard. I say to the member that unless he has seen the area, unless he knows how to get in and out of that area, unless he knows that smuggling had reached such proportions that in the spring it was even occurring by helicopter, how can he say that we should have sent the army to patrol the Canada-U.S. border?
No, not on the Canada-U.S. border and least not in my riding and least not again at Akwasasne. Nowhere will that be done if I have anything to do with it.
