Mr. Speaker, inherent in that question are really two levels of speculation.
The first level presumes that we will be part of the U.S. missile defence system. That in effect is not the case. The government has not made a decision on that. The second level of speculation involves whether or not the U.S. may need our territory if we decide to participate. We do not know that at this point.
Again the NDP has run off on a tangent here in terms of its level of speculation.
