Mr. Speaker, this is merely pressure exerted by the world's most important and most powerful leader.
The Prime Minister argued that he had obtained assurances the missile defence shield would not result, in its initial phase, in any form of militarization of space. Yet, the report of the Department of National Defence alludes to the possibility of providing Canadian assistance for the development of weapons.
Is this not yet further proof that the missile defence shield will result in the weaponization of space and that Canada intends to participate in it?
