Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of National Defence.
The Prime Minister's position on U.S. sabre-rattling toward Iraq shifts depending on what late night call his office gets from the Bush administration. George Bush seems determined, come hell or high water, to proceed with a military intervention in Iraq.
Could the Minister of National Defence tell us whether discussions have been held between Canadian and American military officials about a joint operation in Iraq? Are there discussions underway about a military incursion in Iraq?
