Mr. Speaker, we are having a debate. They want me to tell them today what we will do in years, months or days to come. I do not know.
I said that I would seriously consider a vote at that time. I do not want to create an impression that we have divisions in Canada. We are debating the position of Canada in the Balkans today and I want the support of the House of Commons.
If members want to vote they can do it tomorrow morning if they want. I thought the leaders of the parties were speaking for their parties. That is the way the government and parliament operate. It was agreed by all leaders that it was the way to debate these affairs. If they want to change the rules we will sit down with them but not before we are confronted with the problem of ground troops—
