Mr. Speaker, the hon. member is selective in his choice of references. There was no vote on Canada's participating in the Korean War and, in several other of the instances, these were votes on estimates. There was no vote in connection with Operation UNIFIL, nor on Canada's participation in the Sinai. Most of the time there was not even a debate. The same goes for the former Yugoslavia.
Since this government came into power, there has been a debate each time. Even if only a handful of personnel were being deployed, there has always been a debate in the House, or in parliamentary committee if the House happened not to be sitting.
