Mr. Speaker, last week I attended joint committee information sessions on Kosovo.
At this time we already have 2,000 people taking part in foreign operations, and it was explained to us that deployment of a new tactical group to Kosovo would stretch us to the breaking point.
My question is for the Minister of National Defence. While the 1994 white paper states that Canada must be capable of deploying 10,000 at a time, how can it be that we will be stretched to the breaking point if we deploy another 1,200 soldiers to Kosovo?
