Despite Former External Affairs Minister Donald Jamieson’s claim that Canada had “been the Number One peace-keeping country in the world,” Canadian participation in the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (U.N.I.F.I.L.) in 1978 was limited to the initial period of six months and solely for logistic support.
