Mr. Speaker, the military sites were spread out across the country, 21 of those military sites are located in the Northwest Territories, mostly as part of what they call the DEW line sites, the Distance Early Warning system. There was no notification to this government of the discussions that were taking place. There was no consultation about the position that should be taken, no request for this government to provide its views or its position in regards to how this issue should be handled. We received it the same as everybody else across the country as a news broadcast on CBC television and an article in The Globe and Mail. Thank you.
