So were anti-personnel mines, Mr. Speaker.
Although the government says they are for use against military targets, according to the UN, Afghan children have been the victims of them. I do not understand why the government remains insensitive. Of course there are innocent victims, but there is no need to make sure there are. Mustard gas, agent orange and chemical bombs have all been banned. Fragmentation bombs should meet the same fate.
We realize that, at times in history, war is unavoidable, but will the Prime Minister not admit that we can always choose our weapons?
