Mr. Speaker, it is not the House leaders who will decide if there will be a vote in the House, it is the government.
If Kyoto deserves to be debated and voted on, then a war, which would mean hundreds of thousands of soldiers possibly risking their lives in a conflict, most certainly deserves the same treatment. Even Mr. Blair understands this. There will be a vote on it in the British Parliament.
Will the federal government commit today to doing the same, holding a debate and a vote in the House before taking part in any war in Iraq?
