March 18, 1968
Mr. Martin (Essex East):
Just a minute. As I was saying, Mr. Chairman, it is only fair to point out that all of this is being done at the suggestion of the President of the United States himself, who said in April of 1965, following the appeal made by the 17 unaligned nations, that he welcomed the effort of countries to try to bring about a narrowing of the gap and to try to bring about a discussion that could lead to a settlement of this matter.
Supply-External Affairs
I know of nothing more that the Canadian government could do in its efforts to try to help bring about a solution to this regrettable war, which has great significance not only for the United States, not only for its neighbour Canada, but which has an apparent bearing on the posture and the mood of the whole world.

Mr. Martin (Essex East):
Mr. Chairman, I am sure my hon. friend does not wish to convey the impression that the government does not intend to put the matter before parliament. This question was asked of the Prime Minister by my hon. friend and he said that the government had to take its responsibility but that it would submit its policy to parliament, as we would always do in respect of these matters.

Mr. Martin (Essex East):
The answer to the question is no. The United States have said that they would be prepared to stop the bombing if they could be assured that talks would take place, and if some indication was given as to when these talks would take place. This is the information we were seeking to get.
As I speak tonight I choose my words carefully, but I still hope that the government of North Viet Nam, knowing that the American government is prepared to stop the bombing, would not only say they will enter the talks but would give an indication as to when these talks would begin. If that is done, I would feel very optimistic that we might begin to try to find a solution to this regrettable war.
