Mr. Speaker, I mentioned during my speech that my position was clearly that we should stand by the commitment already made by our country. We would send a few hundred troops only if a peace settlement is achieved, if a ceasefire is achieved, a guaranteed ceasefire under a guaranteed agreement. Canada should move in purely for peacekeeping purposes and not send troops. I do not agree that the NATO operation should be enlarged by sending troops of any kind into Yugoslavia.
