Mr. Speaker, providing a deterrent, a strong coalition show of force, is the best chance we have of avoiding war in Iraq.
The Canadian Alliance has been calling for months for the government to contribute troops to the international show of force aimed at encouraging Saddam Hussein to turn over his weapons of terror.
Why will the government not stand with its allies, Britain, Australia, the United States and others, to provide this deterrent to Saddam Hussein so that he will destroy his weapons of mass destruction, to provide that message in the only language he understands?
