Mr. Speaker, as I stated yesterday in the House, we checked with the legal counsel of the House of Commons and they stated it does not cover them.
My question is about leadership. The minister of defence and his advisers know that they do not have these benefits secured for our troops.
Once again I am going to ask him: Will the government show leadership and pass the appropriate order in council and make it retroactive to ensure benefits for our brave soldiers in the Balkans?
