Mr. Speaker, we have not yet formally been asked to supply troops but there is preliminary work being done at NATO. That is being done in connection with the peace talks that are presently going on in Rambouillet, France. In those discussions part of what they will be considering is whether a peacekeeping mission could be agreed upon by the parties. If it is, then it is quite likely Canada would be asked. In that case, I would expect the government to make a decision after some consultation with members of parliament.
In the House of Commons on February 8th, 1999. See this statement in context.
