Mr. Speaker, Canadians have not used depleted uranium. Our CF-18s did not use depleted uranium when they were involved in Kosovo.
We have taken steps to ensure the safety of our troops in that area. They are given personal radioactivity dosimeters and other steps are taken to ensure that their safety and health are looked after.
At the same time scientific studies to this point have not indicated that depleted uranium and illnesses including cancer are in fact related.
