Mr. Speaker, we are talking about consultation before commitment.
The Liberals have long forgotten their red book promises. They promised to reject the camp follower approach to the U.S. They promised a more open process for making foreign policy. They promised to expand the rights of Parliament to debate major
Canadian foreign policy initiatives such as the deployment of peacekeeping forces.
The government is not only violating its own principles, it is acting like the Mulroney Tories during the gulf war. Why has the government broken its red book promises? Will it commit, here and now, to have a full parliamentary debate on Bosnia before we send more troops?
