Mr. Chairman, I certainly find the hon. member's proposals interesting. I agree with the parliamentary secretary's recommendation that there be an interesting exchange of viewpoints in the foreign affairs committee.
As he said, it is a general problem of replacing the representatives of the executive in the negotiation and signing of the treaty. Generally speaking, I am interested in looking at all the ways parliament is involved in foreign affairs issues especially, for example, a government decision to establish military intervention under the aegis of the United Nations and so on.
At this point, I am a keen observer of the work of the foreign affairs committee. I will look forward to the work of the committee with considerable interest.
