Of course it is government policy that Canadian troops should be armed as efficiently and as effectively as are troops with which they are co-operating. I do not think the average Canadian would wish to see his country's troops sent into action inferiorly equipped. On February 20 of this. year, during the debate which took place at that time, the Prime Minister announced that as far as our troops in Europe were concerned and as far as our air force "and troops in Canada were concerned, we were entering into a series of negotiations with the United States in order, to arrange the details of the storing of and equipping our forces with nuclear weapons as and when they would be available and as and when we would have the weapons to launch them. By the time we get the Bomarc and by the time we get the Lacrosse Over to the brigade and by the time we get the new aircraft for the air division, I am confident that these programs will be completed. Progress is being made with them and as soon as negotiations are completed an announcement will be made and it will be made in this house if the house is sitting a t that time. 000847 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
