Mr. Speaker, the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry has a proud history and tradition of fighting for freedom. In the first world war it bravely fought at Vimy Ridge and at Ypres, and on the battlegrounds of Italy and Germany in the second world war. In the dangerous terrain of Korea, it was there in that conflict.
Now, in what appears to be a softening of our commitment to stand shoulder to shoulder with our allies, the Minister of National Defence is indicating that if there is full conflict these troops may be sent home.
Could the Prime Minister please explain what on earth he is talking about?
