Mr. Speaker, this kind of action would have more credibility if we were not committed to exporting the technology to make bombs. I ask the minister whether he would give more credibility to the Canadian position by finally showing some leadership within the context of Canada's membership in NATO and questioning the nuclear doctrine of NATO which holds that some countries should continue to have nuclear weapons forever. When will he seek the abolition of all nuclear weapons no matter what country has them?
In the House of Commons on May 12th, 1998. See this statement in context.
