Mr. Speaker, all major decisions are made by the UN. UNPROFOR is a UN group and final decisions are made by the military command of the United Nations. We are not a member of the group of five for various reasons, among them the fact that some of the neighbouring countries think they can play a better role than we can.
We are doing what we do best. We are on the ground, making sure we are not taking sides. That is why the Canadian position is always appreciated by everyone. I talked with the President of Croatia when I was in Budapest and I talked with the President of Bosnia. They both told me they appreciate the professionalism of our soldiers.
Our soldiers are not there for us to gain political points internationally. They are there because they are the best.
