Mr. Speaker, I would like the defence minister to go a little further in answer to the following question.
Not more than a year ago Turkey bombed Kurdish villages killing many civilian women and children. This morning Turkish war planes and 35,000 troops resumed their offensive against the Kurds in northern Iraq. Given the state of tension it is unlikely that Turkey would refuse to use CF-5s in a future campaign regardless of any written guarantee.
Will the government live up to its red book promise and refuse to sell arms to any country suspected of human rights violations?
