No, Mr. Chairman. It depends what the hon. member means by those words. We have not been invited to participate in the northern command. We have not been invited to become part of the northern command.
I do not anticipate we will ever be asked because that is an internal structure within the United States just as the southern command covers all of South America. Nobody has been asked in South America, or any part of the world, to join that command. The northern and southern commands are internal organizational commands.
When the hon. member asks what we are discussing, we are discussing the possibilities of co-operation. In that respect it could be a relationship but it certainly will not be coming under northern command. No, we are not looking at that at the moment.
