Mr. Speaker, the government is now considering the American system because the Prime Minister says that unspecified conditions have changed.
We know that CSIS has just created a new counter-proliferation branch to focus on terrorist groups or states with weapons of mass destruction.
I am not asking the Prime Minister to disclose information that should be secret, but could he tell us whether the government has received information which leads it to believe that there is a significantly more serious threat of attacks by weapons of mass destruction? Is that among the reasons he is considering a change in Canada's traditional policy?
