Mr. Speaker, time is running out for a decision on a national missile defence system that will protect Canada's interests.
A few weeks ago the director general of policy and planning in the Department of National Defence was quoted as saying:
The value of our political support will...depreciate as we approach decision time. Once the U.S. has made its decision, that value could be reduced to nothing.
When will the government get off the fence, act in Canada's national interest and publicly endorse a national missile defence system?
