I support Senator Norris. We should introduce an amendment on Report Stage, even if it is to change the need to consult from a war situation to that of a peacekeeping capacity. There is no question about it; we are not going to war. The missions under discussion are peacekeeping missions and I urge the Minister to accept that. I will withdraw the amendment in favour of the words of Senator Norris if the Minister will accept them.
