Mr. Speaker, I listened with great interest to what the member had to say. We know he has the interests of the armed forces very much at heart.
With regard to his emphasis on a vote on some or other fairly hypothetical aspect of this exercise, I wonder if he would give us some thoughts about that. It seems to me that we are engaged in an exercise that has been going on now for some years in which we are increasingly putting pressure on Mr. Milosevic with a view to getting him to back down and to allow the people of Kosovo to go home. That exercise is partly psychological, it is partly political, it is partly economic sanctions and it is partly military. The military side is partly threats and partly some of the reality which we are facing now.
Does the member seriously think that to commit ourselves well in advance on a hypothetical question affects the effectiveness of the strategy that we are engaged in?
