Mr. Speaker, tomorrow, the Minister of Foreign Affairs will meet with his NATO colleagues and defend Canada's position that the time has come for the United Nations to redefine the peacekeepers' mandate.
As I said earlier, the work to be done by our troops and the resources available to them must be reviewed so that small groups of peacekeepers are not as exposed as they are at present.
Through our ambassador to the United Nations, we outlined our position. I spoke with Secretary General Boutros Boutros-Ghali yesterday to express Canada's views before he submits a new plan to the Security Council tomorrow. This position will be defended by the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the meeting of NATO foreign affairs ministers tomorrow.
