Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the Leader of the Opposition for his very pertinent question.
Yes, it is a breakthrough and I am very happy that a minute ago the President of Finland made a statement that President Milosevic has accepted the proposition we received yesterday. That is subject to verification because now the NATO military people and the military people of Yugoslavia will meet to bring about the implementation of the agreement, and the eventual stopping of the bombing and withdrawal of troops from Kosovo.
We have to go to the United Nations for a resolution to be approved because the troops that will be going there will be going through the authority of the United Nations. It is much better than what we were obliged to do before with NATO.
This is not sure because sometimes there are developments that could stop the process. I want to thank the Leader of the Opposition and the leaders of the parties in the House of Commons who have sustained NATO in this endeavour.
It looks as though within hours cleansing policies that we fought against will be terminated. Hopefully very soon the Kosovars will return safely to their homes and villages in Kosovo and that freedom and prosperity will come eventually after such a terrible period of their lives.
