Interestingly, Mr. Speaker, the political leader I just quoted was the Prime Minister.
In February 1998 he told the House “...Canada cannot stand on the sidelines...” Our armed forces would support, in a material way, the actions of this multilateral initiative. He went on to say “...a military strike against Iraq would be justified to secure compliance with...security council resolutions”.
Iraq still has not complied with these United Nations resolutions. Will the Prime Minister stand by his words or has he changed his position again?
