Now a committee of Liberal and Conservative senators is recommending that Canada join the missile defence program. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3801942\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Unelected people are taking a position and the Liberal leader is dodging questions while the <a data-HoCid=\"78738\" href=\"/politicians/stephen-harper/\" title=\"Stephen Harper\">Prime Minister</a> is being very vague about his intentions. Either the Conservatives want in or they do not. There are no half measures here. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3801943\" data-originallang=\"fr\">In the midst of slashing services to the public, are the Conservatives really going to spend billions on this questionable project?</p>",
