Mr. Speaker, the hon. member completely misstates the government's position. The government has never said that it supports Iraq's development of biological weapons. It totally rejects that. It stands firm with the other countries of the UN in saying that Iraq must back down and accept UN inspection without reservation.
I say to the hon. member that type of misleading comment, perhaps not intentional, totally weakens the ability of this Parliament to send a strong signal to Saddam Hussein that his misdeeds are unacceptable. It is about time that she supported our position against Saddam Hussein.
