Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It has to do with the fact that the Government of France has proceeded with another nuclear test in the Pacific.
Given the government's oft-stated desire to have Canada be more of a part of the Pacific rim, I wonder if the government is prepared to show solidarity with the opinions of the governments and the peoples of the Pacific rim and call in the French ambassador and tell him just how objectionable the Canadian people and the Canadian government find this continued nuclear testing.
Will the minister tell the House today not just what he is going to say but what the government is going to do about France continually flouting the opinion of the international community on this and the future of the planet?
