Mr. Speaker, for a person who has spent his career as a high ranking officer in national defence-who as a member of Parliament is double dipping by having his pension from the army-he should know there are always discussions at the military level on how to deploy troops. It has never been done by parliamentarians. It has always been done by the military under instructions by the government.
At this time peace is coming to Bosnia, which we hope will be a permanent peace situation. Canada is always there when there is a need for peace. If we are needed we will look on it favourably. However, I have not made up my mind. If Parliament were to tell us not to go there, we would not. However, it would surprise me if the people of Canada did not want to be in a place where we can save lives, have peace and make progress for the poor people who have suffered so badly over the last four years.
