Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
Yesterday the Prime Minister confirmed that Canada has no independent policy in NATO on the Kosovo crisis, that we are simply a lapdog for the United States. The United States has said that while an independent peacekeeping force in Kosovo should include Russian troops, it must be a NATO led force and not a UN led force.
As Russia will never accept this position, why will Canada not show independent leadership, break the unholy NATO consensus and insist on a UN led, not a NATO led, peacekeeping force?
