SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This bill provides for a process to subject the involvement of
Canadian Forces in international peacekeeping missions to
parliamentary control, to limit it to a neutral or non-combatant role and
to control the placing of Canadian Forces under UN or other
non-Canadian command.
|
|
|
|
The bill subjects every separate mission to a specific time and
expenditure limit approved by the House of Commons after debate.
|
|
|
|
The bill ensures that peacekeeping is authorized by the process
described in it and not through an active service initiation under the
National Defence Act. However, it also ensures that those serving in
peacekeeping missions have the same administrative treatment with
respect to discipline, service credits and benefits under that Act as if
they were on active service.
