Mr. Speaker, this week our ambassador to the United Nations said that any Iraqi cooperation with weapons inspectors has come about “only in response to the deliberate and useful buildup of U.S. and U.K. military forces in the region”. He also called, as we know, for another deadline for Iraqi compliance with resolution 1441.
Given that Canada has done nothing to contribute to this useful buildup of forces, when will the foreign affairs minister get off of the fence and spell out exactly what consequences Canada will support if Iraq blows past this latest deadline without complying?
