Mr. Speaker, I think that there is a shift in public opinion.
Take the example of the war in the Balkans: many countries took part under the premise that there would be no loss of life for the forces fighting against evil.
I believe that this is changing today. Public opinion in Canada, the U.S. and around the world changed when people saw the images of those airplanes colliding into the towers causing so many civilian casualties. Today people are prepared to eradicate terrorism, to make them pay the price for the lives lost and I think that public opinion is justified on this point.
