Mr. Speaker, all of us fervently and deeply hope that particular proposal will bear fruit. There is no question about that.
How long is the minister prepared to wait? How many more people must die? How many more villages must be burned and refugees driven out of their homes before Canada finally takes urgent action, brings this matter before the security council and ultimately uses our leadership in the way that Lester Pearson did in 1956 to take it before the general assembly?
How much longer is he prepared to wait before he shows that leadership and brings it before the security council?
