Mr. Speaker, I think the member knows very well that I did not make the assertions that he attributed to me. Rather the entire thrust of what I think every member of this House needs to be concerned about, I want to reassure the member that I was very concerned about and I put my comments forward, is where we go from here.
It is very important that we not be stuck back at the point of saying that the Rambouillet accord said thus and so and therefore nothing else is a possibility. It is very important that we recognize that we have been bombing for 19 straight days. The objective that was set out at the beginning and thought to be achievable within a few days has simply not come anywhere closer to being achieved.
We absolutely have to redouble our efforts to seek every single possible avenue for a peaceful and early solution. How? Very specifically, propose to Milosevic, take a bold initiative that if he will stop the atrocities, if he will stop the killing, if he will agree to come to the table, then we will stop the NATO bombing.
