Mr. Speaker, Canada has been promoting a diplomatic solution from the very beginning of the crisis in Kosovo.
Unfortunately, we finally came to the situation where the Milosevic regime refused any adherence to the fundamental rule of law or any kind of agreement whatsoever. Therefore, we had to opt for the enforcement of that rule of law and the protection of the innocent lives of people.
What we will be supporting at Washington is the continuation of allowing us to use every opportunity to support the initiatives of the secretary general, the NATO council and the leaders of Russia, who are all seeking to find a solution.
