Possible Strike by Western Nations in Conformity with International Conventions of War-Government Position Hon. Noël A. Kinsella (Acting Deputy Leader of the Opposition): My very specific question, then, to get to the heart of this issue, is: Does the Government of Canada have assurances, either from its own intelligence staff or from its own international or domestic legal staff that, should the bombing take place, a bombing in which we are acting in a supporting role, it would be consistent with the international humanitarian law conventions, and the Geneva convention in particular?
L'honorable Noël A. Kinsella (chef adjoint suppléant de l'opposition): Dans ce cas, ma question précise est la suivante: le gouvernement du Canada a-t-il l'assurance, de ses services de renseignement ou de ses responsables en matière de justice au niveau international ou national, que si des bombardements ont lieu et que nous jouons un rôle de soutien, ces bombardements respecteront les conventions en matière de droit humanitaire international, notamment la convention de Genève?
