Mr. Speaker, we are a bit disillusioned. We thought the new era of perestroika that the minister was bringing in yesterday was a refreshing sign, but he is beating a hasty retreat now.
The area in discussion, a secure perimeter, has been talked about by the U.S. ambassador, the former ambassador to the United Nations, provincial premiers and key community leaders. They are all talking about having a secure perimeter. It is not the only thing that should be done, but it is one of them.
What does the minister have against their idea of a secure perimeter and why does he say it is simplistic?
