Mr. Speaker, it is up to the U.S. and Canada and all other countries to work together through the United Nations. In the 1960s the world faced a terrifying threat with the Cuban missile crisis. What did the president of the day, John F. Kennedy, do? He invoked the UN charter. He called upon the UN to call an emergency meeting of the security council and to deploy UN personnel.
Will the Prime Minister go to Washington and urge President Bush to embrace the John F. Kennedy approach?
