Mr. Speaker, our military is actively engaged by way of air strikes in the conflict in Kosovo. Concern has been expressed that this present action may not achieve its goal and the conflict may escalate to require ground troops.
Will the minister assure the House that, should NATO make a formal request of Canada for an expanded commitment, this request will be brought before parliament for a debate and a vote?
We spent all night long debating the government's legislation to send public servants back to work. Surely we can and should debate any expanded commitment of military action in Kosovo.
