Mr. Chairman, the right hon. member is assuming that there will be some sort of a formal invitation. We look at all possibilities of the implications of co-operation with the United States. It is not unusual to do. There are only informal discussions going on at this point in time. When we get to a point where the government has a proposal, then the government will make that known and the right hon. member can respond accordingly.
