Mr. Speaker, Afghanistan is a war situation. That is why there should be a vote.
There certainly are no logical reasons to explain why the government will not allow a vote on this key issue. Its arguments do not make sense.
We have now learned that the Conservatives actually offered the Liberals a vote on this matter having to do with the extension. Can the government confirm this?
We are also told that this offer was rejected by the Liberal member for Toronto Centre.
Is this why Parliament cannot vote? Is it all part of some kind of secret deal?
