Mr. Speaker, when it comes to a shemozzle, it is hard to beat the current government's record with regard to the anti-missile defence shield. In fact, the Minister of Foreign Affairs claims that the positions of the American administration and the Canadian government are in no way contradictory, since the weaponization of space is not part of the program in its current state.
Are we to understand from the minister's comments that he is satisfied enough with this answer to go ahead with the shield? Does he believe that this is the guarantee?
