Mr. Speaker, a number of U.S. officials are in Ottawa today. They are holding secret talks on the missile defence shield, a program that could cost billions of dollars.
The government said that parliament would merely be consulted. We will be informed after the fact, we will be treated like kids in kindergarten.
Parliamentarians should know the facts. They should have the opportunity to discuss the options in the House before a decision is made.
Will the Prime Minister assure the House that parliamentarians will debate the missile defence shield issue before any decision is made?
