Mr. Speaker, tonight there is to be a NATO meeting of the council to discuss the implementation of the agreement.
We have already committed 800 people who have been moving there. Some are already there and the rest will go there. There is a request that we send some more but at this moment we have to look at what it is for and at what type of forces and equipment will be needed. It will take some days before we know for sure.
We want to make our proportional contribution as in the past. As it is going to be a peacekeeping operation we will inform the House. There will be a briefing as usual on that. Happily there are no ground troops going there to fight. I am very happy that again Canadians will be involved in peacekeeping.
