Canada will join the any military action that the United States decides to take in its war against terrorism, even if Canadian lives are lost, Minister for Foreign Affairs John Manley said.
When opposition members asked Prime Minister Jean Chretien in the House of Commons on Monday whether he agreed with the his foreign minister's assertion, Chretien answered in the affirmative.
"We will participate with the US against terrorism," he said.
"Canada is at war against terrorism," Manley said in an interview with The National Post on Monday. "The world changed in some very real ways as a result of last week's events and that is going to force us to look at all aspects of what we do."
Manley reportedly pledged that Canada would "stand shoulder to shoulder" with the US when if it went into battle.
A lot of Canadians had lost their lives in the attack on the World Trade Centre, he said.
According to the Department of Foreign Affairs, over 100 Canadians are still missing. Only two deaths have been confirmed so far.
