Mr. Speaker, while everyone is celebrating the release of the hostages in Bosnia, the Muslim and Croat offensive against Bosnian Serb positions continues, in an attempt to lift the siege of Sarajevo. The fighting goes on, despite a warning from the G-7 countries Thursday evening, and a solemn appeal for a ceasefire from the UN special envoy.
My question is directed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. As we speak, some 700 Canadian soldiers are still confined to their camp in Visoko. Would the minister agree that in Halifax, the G-7 countries failed to reach agreement on a specific solution to put an end to the conflict in Bosnia?
