Madam Speaker, President George Bush stated in his speech last night that we are either shoulder to shoulder with the United States or shoulder to shoulder with terrorists. That is what led to my remarks.
We in the NDP see a third alternative which the Prime Minister and other ministers have also articulated or tried to get across. There are international and multilateral options we can explore.
I was trying to convey the sentiment that Canada should not fall automatically into line and goose step behind the most simplistic solution, which is a strong military strike at this time. We should resist and oppose that. That is an example of how differently I would like to believe our country is treating the issue. It is a graphic illustration of how Canada seeks to solve problems somewhat differently than the United States.
