Mr. Speaker, I do have the motion in front of me as amended. It is pretty straightforward. It says that this House demand that the government submit to a debate and a vote in the House prior to the possibility of sending Canadian soldiers to the Balkans who may be involved in military or peacekeeping operations.
From my point of view and taking this at face value, we are asking the government, prior to sending people in as peacekeepers or into combat in a military zone, to submit a proposal to the House for debate and a vote. It is straightforward, it is the same in both official languages and it is easy to understand. I encourage all hon. members to support the motion. It is a step forward for democracy.
