Once again, Mr. Speaker, the mission in Afghanistan, unlike Iraq, is supported by the entire international community. NATO is not asking us for a decision today.
I note that the Leader of the Opposition has had about a half dozen different positions on this over the last year. One day he is for it, then he is against it, he wants to leave now, he wants to leave later, and he wants to stay.
He said this: “I'm supporting the mission because I'm still convinced that most of the people of Afghanistan want our protection”.
They still want our protection. What has changed to cause the Leader of the Opposition to change his story yet again?
