Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the hon. member's speech. It was very well put. I certainly agree with the contents of what she said. A drastic thing is going on. Let us all hope it comes to an end soon.
I am concerned when it comes to the debates that take place in the House. I have expressed this before and I will express it again. Does the hon. member agree with me that debates should be open and transparent and that they should be used to help make decisions regarding issues? If she does agree, could she explain why in the last parliament when we were debating whether or not to send troops to Bosnia we learned that the troops were already on their way, that the decision had already been made? Does she agree that sometimes these decisions are made without the debate? Does she agree with doing that?
