Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise on an issue of missile defence. In this House, a few times, I have spoken about my concerns regarding Canada's participation with missile defence. On CTV News' web site, it says, if I may quote: "We are part of it now," he said, "and the question is, what more do we need?"
That is Mr. Frank McKenna, Canada's new ambassador to the United States, basically summarizing we are participating in missile defence.
Mr. Speaker, a couple of days ago, I tabled a letter from the Prime Minister of Canada to our Premier, Mr. Joseph Handley, and the third paragraph down did say, from the good Prime Minister: "The Government of Canada remains committed to ensuring that the Territories are kept apprised of any developments regarding possible candidate participation in missile defence."
I guess that being said, the Prime Minister has said he would consult with our Premier. Does the Premier know of our participation levels within missile defence? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
