I want to have a look at the traditional way we have gone about producing defence policies in Canada. Then I want to expand and have

Peacekeeping   are the guiding principles, on what basis are decisions made regarding these operations? These questions will remain unanswered because they do not know. We know for a fact that the government, through its members on the foreign affairs committee which reviewed Canada's foreign policy, agreed
