Mr. Speaker, in 1994 the government produced a guideline document which outlined in some detail its defence policy. Is is known more commonly as the 1994 defence white paper. Since that time the government has repeatedly and recently indicated that the success of DND could be measured by how much of the white paper was being or had been implemented.
Will the Prime Minister confirm for the House that the 1994 defence white paper continues to be the authoritative document on the government's defence policy? Yes or no?
