Canada has about 30 armed forces personnel serving with U.S. and British contingents in the Persian Gulf and has contributed two warships to a naval force stationed in the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf. Chretien did not respond when asked whether the forces in the gulf region would be withdrawn, Reuters reported.
