Mr. Speaker, when this minister was in Mexico last January, he forgot being briefed about Canadian troops taking prisoners in Afghanistan. Can he remember if he discussed with Mexican authorities a U.S.-led integrated command for North America? If so, did those discussions involve extending some aspect of Norad to include Mexico?
The minister admits there are discussions. Will he spell out to parliament within the next couple of weeks or now how the new integrated North American command will affect Canada and Canadian control and command of the Canadian armed forces?
