Mr. H. W. Herridge (Kootenay West): Mr. Speaker, I will broaden the field; it is a question now. 1 should like to ask a question of the Minister of National Defence. Is NATO a nuclear power? Hon. D. S. Harkness (Minister of National Defence): Mr. Speaker, two of the countries of NATO and a third partially are nuclear powers. In other words, as the hon. member and I think all hon. members know, the United States and the United Kingdom both have nuclear weapons, and France is in ; process of building them. The hon. member asks whether NATO is a nuclear power. NATO is an alliance of nations, three of which have nuclear capabilities. Mir. Pearson: May I ask a supplementary question of the minister. Could he inform the house how many NATO members have bilateral agreements with the United States for the control of nuclear weapons? Mr. Harkness: Mr. Speaker, I do not think I am in a position at the moment to give that information. The information would have to come originally from the United States, which is one party to all the bilateral agreements which exist. [Later.] Hon. Paul Hellyer (Trinity): Mr. Speaker, I should like to ask the Prime Minister if he will now agree to the setting up of a special parliamentary committee on defence, in order that all members of the house including, and perhaps more particularly, members of the ministry may have an opportunity to inform themselves. Right Hon. J. G. Diefenbaker (Prime Minister): Mr. Speaker, it is a most desirable objective that the hon. gentleman should have information, but in so far as a committee is concerned there has been no change in the attitude of the government. ; 000914 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
