Mr. Speaker, my colleague is correct that were that the case, the officer would be subject to the act as a result of his breaking the law, quite frankly. He absolutely would be held responsible.
It is a prudent thing to do and it is a reality of war. It is a reality of the current situation. We have engaged with the Americans.
There was a question a little earlier where we talked about New Zealand. Yes, New Zealand has perhaps a different twist on this, but the reality of the situation is that it is highly unlikely that New Zealand will participate with the United States or Turkey. We hope this is not the situation. However, these situations may arise and it is prudent for us as a nation to safeguard our men and women should we go into combat or should we go into a theatre with the United States or any country.
We continue to encourage those countries to follow this direction, and it is our hope that these terrible weapons will be eradicated from the world.
