Mr. Speaker, every member of the House knows exactly what has happened here. Everybody knows exactly what our ambassador said this morning.
We agreed to a Norad amendment which would allow our American partners, for the security of North America, to obtain the threat assessments and the information they need to make decisions to deploy missiles or other forms of defence. We did that in order to help them.
We have yet to make any decisions in terms of ballistic missile defence. That decision will be made in accordance with Canadian needs and a Canadian appreciation of our strategic interests in support of the defence of North America. That is all there is to it.
