Mr. Speaker, the government's hypocrisy is breathtaking when it comes to addressing so-called hypothetical questions.
Asked what Canada will do if Bush succeeds in bullying the UN into mandating war against Iraq, the Prime Minister says “count Canada in”, but asked what Canada will do if Bush launches an attack on Iraq without a UN mandate, the Prime Minister dismisses the question as hypothetical. He simply will not answer.
Why the double standard?
