Mr. Speaker, does the NDP accept the fact that this mission was sanctioned by the United Nations? Does he accept the fact that it is a NATO mission? Does he accept the Afghanistan compact, which has tried to unite countries from diverse backgrounds in order to rebuild Afghanistan? That is the fundamental difference between this mission, which is UN sanctioned, NATO-led, and involves Iran and neighbouring countries in the Afghanistan compact. That is a fundamental difference from a country like the Soviet Union moving in its tanks to occupy another country for its own will and its own reasons.
Does the NDP accept that this is a UN-NATO mission, yes or no?
