Mr. Speaker, we do not want to hear any talk about consultations or take note debates. What is needed is a vote in the House by the people's elected representatives.
I would remind the Liberals that before they took office all decisions relating to sending troops into combat were voted on in the House. Recently, this approach was used for the Kyoto protocol.
So, does the Prime Minister consider that sending troops should be equal in importance to the environment? Does he intend to submit this issue to a vote in the House? It must be kept in mind that the elected representatives who are here are the voice of the people. Is the Prime Minister going to let that voice be heard?
