Mr. Speaker, I believe confusion reigns in the House on this matter through no fault of hon. members on this side. We have always been clear. We have contributed to the Norad amendment in order to work with our American friends on assessing threats to North America. We will take a decision on deploying a missile defence shield once we have all had a chance to discuss it with our colleagues in this House. That way all Canadians will understand the nature of our solution.
In the House of Commons on February 22nd, 2005. See this statement in context.
