Mr. Speaker, there will be 19 government leaders with responsibilities to fulfil.
Whatever the circumstances, I am going to assume the responsibilities one would hope a Prime Minister of Canada could assume. There has been a debate in this House. The House of Commons supports the government's position. In my speech last Monday, I clearly set out all the conditions of our current participation in what NATO is doing.
I have the support of this House and I intend to speak on its behalf and on behalf of all Canadians.
