Mr. Speaker, we have not been hesitating whatsoever. I have just spent the last nine days in a round of negotiations with a number of countries.
We were able to culminate an agreement yesterday at a G-8 meeting. A series of initiatives will go forward to the security council of the United Nations which includes a series of conditions that will end the repression and the violence that are taking place in Kosovo and that will provide the basis for a just and fair agreement.
I would say to hon. members of the New Democratic Party that I very much regret that they broke the Canadian consensus and decided to turn away from a very successful formula which was necessary.
