Mr. Speaker, we have been saying we would stand behind our allies and our people and that we would send enough people there with the support of the government so they would not get killed and they would win this war against Saddam.
I want to once again explore what the minister means. We know that these people are in harm's way. We know that indirect combatants can get killed.
Lieutenant-Colonel Ronnie McCourt of the British army was asked whether there were any Canadian soldiers at risk of death or injury. His reply was, “Oh yes, they are in combat”. Is that true or not?
