Mr. Speaker, the mandate in Bosnia disappeared months ago. We have been calling for the withdrawal for months now. Canadians are demanding to know before they commit to these sorts of missions what they will cost.
They want to know how long we will be there. They want to know whether we can deliver the mandate being given to us. They want to know whether we will be part of the decision making process or whether we will simply be followers.
Can the Prime Minister tell Canadians the government has learned a lesson from this mission and that it will promise to let Parliament be involved and have a free vote on developing criteria for peacekeeping?
