Should Canada decide to participate it would signify
its acceptance by a formal unilateral communication to the
parties. At the same time the Government would also
communicate any reservations it may have in respect of the
documents embodying the settlement or in respect of the
commission or Canada's participation in it.
When all the texts are available, the Government will
examine them in the light of these criteria, conditions and
viewpoints and make its own determination on the viability
of the operation and on the existence of a suitable role for
Canada. The Government is conscious of the fact that there
are several possible forms of response open to it between
a simple refusal to take part at all to a full and uncon-
ditional involvement. The Government's assessment 6f the
relevant texts will also take into account the importance
of contributing to a scaling down of hostilities in Viet-
nam and to the disengagement of american forces and the
return of their prisoners of war. It is conceivable that
the result of this exam might suggest a participation for
a limited period of time rather than an outright refusal
or an unqualified undertaking to serve. If so, the
.
parties concerned will be so sdvised and if they found
this acceptable, Canada could take part on a limited basis.
Also drawing on our experience, we are conscious of
