Just to add Paul Martin decided at first not to go to Europe(can't remember which country, silly me) cause he was afraid a vote might happen while he's gone thus one less vote for him. He had to persuade the other leaders to come with him and put any politics on hold if he is to go. Really this is all so silly. This is becoming a farce really.

Correction:
All four parties were invited to send MPs to Holland to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of V-E Day. The CPC and Bloc decided not to send anyone at the last minute, after the NDP and Liberal reps were already there (hmmm...I wonder why they'd do that?).
Martin then made the offer of a political cease-fire of sorts so that our veterans could have members of the government present at the events in Europe.
Quite shameful of the Bloc and CPC to play dirty politics like that, but at least everyone came to their senses in the end.
