Mr. Speaker, the member for Nipissing—Timiskaming struck some of the same notes the member for Vancouver South did earlier, so I am going to ask the member a number of questions.
First, does he agree with the member for Vancouver South that this debate should not even be happening because it is improper in our constitutional process to put debates like this before Parliament?
In regard to the member's view of openness, does he agree with the member for Vancouver South that this debate should not be happening in that regard?
Also, could he point me to any agreement or any treaty that the last government put in front of this House for debate and approval by Parliament?
Furthermore, could he advise this House whether the 2004 amendments that the previous Liberal government brought into the Norad treaty, which deal with sharing of information for ballistic missile purposes, were brought to this House for a debate and a vote?
