Mr. Speaker, on September 11 the first request to any foreign country from the United States came to Canada. We were asked if we would take 200 planes out of its skies and take them into our airports and deal with 33,000 people in those aircraft. We said yes to that. President Bush, in one of his first public statements, thanked Canada. How many times does the hon. member think he needs to thank Canada? He knows we are there with them.
The Americans further asked us to put CF-18s into the NORAD system. We have done that. They asked us to increase intelligence analysis. We have done it. We have done all that we have been asked.
