Mr. Speaker, I listened to the hon. member very carefully. We are talking about a humanitarian issue here.
It is a very important issue but there is another issue attached to this, that if we are planning to take any military action or if we are committing our military support to NATO, that means we are committing men and women of the Canadian forces.
The question arises here of whether we are well equipped. Are our brave men and women well equipped with the materials they need?
I would also like to know from the member how much it will cost us. For how long are we going to commit our military forces? What are the long term plans? Can the member throw some light on that?
