Mr. Speaker, obviously this is a matter that will be the subject of cabinet discussions. My colleague, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, will be leading that discussion.
I am glad the hon. member made a tribute to the hard work of the men and women now serving in Bosnia.
The Canadian government's position has always been that we want stability in that region. That is why we committed 1,000 troops to the IFOR force. It is quite obvious to most people that some continuation of the force will be required once IFOR's mandate terminates. That will be the discussion between ministers next week.
Once it is determined what is required, Canada will have to decide whether we shall continue to participate and at what level.
