Mr. Speaker, the missile defence shield issue has been back in the forefront for the past few weeks now. We are learning how divisive an issue it is, splitting the cabinet and the Liberal caucus, although not one iota of the plan has been seen by anyone.
Does the Prime Minister not find it strange that the government is preparing to negotiate on a project of this scope without first presenting it for discussion in the House of Commons? Does he not feel that would be the minimum required?
