Mr. Speaker, Canada does not have a seat at the Security Council and we did not need the position of Russia and China to join NATO and Norad.
This is about protecting Canadian airspace. It is about protecting Canadian sovereignty, about our role in Norad, and about having a voice at the table with the United States.
Why does the government not realize that these kinds of decisions, like continental missile defence, should be taken because they are in Canada's national interest?
