Our definition of neutrality has changed on more than one occasion over the years. I do not intend to provide the House with a history lesson in this regard but, currently, neutrality is most often defined as military neutrality, or put more simply, non-membership of a military alliance or a joint defence agreement. That is the most meaningful definition that can be given to it. The opponents of the Nice treaty seek to define neutrality in a way that would exclude our participation in the European Rapid Reaction Force. I strongly support our participation in the Partnership for Peace as well as the Rapid Reaction Force in most conceivable circumstances.
