Federal New Democrats say it's a "profoundly dangerous" mistake to begin formal negotiations with the United States on a ballistic missile defence shield.

NDP Leader Jack Layton said the U.S.-proposed defence shield is based on ineffective technology. Although it won't actually stop any attacks, it will destabilize the world, he said.

"This is a monumentally bad idea that doesn't address the proliferation of weapons and ignores pressing threats to security such as world poverty," he told a news conference.

The proposed shield would be made up of land- and sea-based interceptor rockets that would be designed to shoot down enemy attacks. Some members of Parliament have opposed the plan, saying it's the first step to putting weapons in space.
