Mr. Speaker, my question will be brief.
Since Mr. Powell's presentation yesterday, is there not room for a peace initiative by Canada? We could put forward the idea that, instead of going to war, we should develop a permanent or long term control and verification system in Iraq to ensure that there are no inappropriate activities going on in that country. This would allow us to avoid a war.
Should the Government of Canada not play a leadership role in this regard, which, unfortunately, is not the case right now?
