Yesterday the Prime Minister stated that Canada would commit troops and also promised a debate in the House to acquire Parliament's approval.
To date however the government has paid only lip service to the principle of consultation. On September 21 last year the debate was only nine days before the renewal. This year on March 29 the debate was only two days before renewal and then the commitment was extended by two months without any reference to Parliament.
Will the government commit this time to having the debate on Canadian forces deployment to the former Yugoslavia after the details are known and before any cabinet decision is taken?
