Mr. Speaker, there is nothing hypothetical about the democratic process. We in the Reform Party simply put it to the government that if the issue of committing troops comes up a vote be taken in the House. What will that do? It will substantiate in the minds of the Canadian public and politicians, as well as of our troops, that parliament is behind them. There is nothing hypothetical about that. We are talking about the democratic process. It is an opportunity to support the action, whatever it may be.
That was all that was put to the minister and the Prime Minister in the form of questions today during question period. It was nothing more, nothing less.
