Mr. Speaker, It is not only in terms of climate change that this government is embarrassing Canada abroad. A few days ago, the Minister of National Defence adopted thevocabulary of neo-conservative Americans when he said that our soldiers were in Afghanistan in retribution for the attacks of September 11.
The Prime Minister has still not denounced those remarks by his minister. I will give him the opportunity to do so today.
Can he declare that Canada will always intervene in the world, not for retribution, but to help preserve peace and security for all people?
