Mr. Speaker, yesterday, the Minister of National Defence again raised the possibility of Canada's sending between 600 and 800 ground troops to Kosovo. They would probably be posted in Macedonia.
No mention was ever made in the House of soldiers being posted anywhere but in Kosovo and doing anything but playing a humanitarian and peacekeeping role.
Would the Minister of National Defence confirm that 800 soldiers could be sent to Macedonia, and, if so, what role they will play?
