Mr. Speaker, I note that the Prime Minister's response is to say that “there is no question at this time of sending ground troops”, and I agree.
However, it is not on the eve of sending them that we will be called upon to evaluate whether or not troops are necessary. In my view, the Prime Minister is suggesting that such an evaluation is now under way.
I ask him, in this order: Will he agree not to send any ground troops to Kosovo until this parliament has debated the issue and given its approval for such a course of action?
