In practice, Mr. Speaker, the actions of the government have been entirely consistent with the determination to do two things: disarm Saddam Hussein on the one hand and prevent war on the other.
We will consistently pursue that course of action with our allies, our European allies, the United States of America and other countries, as we go down a very difficult road at this time and ensure that we still have an opportunity to come out of this without a conflict in that very volatile region of the Middle East.
