Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I might note that we were all distributed answers from DND on this question, and they included, of course, the question that was asked. The question that was asked was not the question Mr. Brison just cited, but in fact, as I read from the document, the question was how many missions with a risk score between 1.50 and 1.99 have been prescribed for income tax relief.
The answer has been given. I might add that missions between 1.50 and 1.99 are very low-risk missions, which frankly has nothing to do with the proposed changes in Bill C-60 anyway. If Mr. Brison has further questions about how DND assigns mission numbers and evaluations and assessments, I'm sure the Liberal Party would welcome him to sit in at their next committee meeting. He can sub in and replace whichever Liberal member typically goes there, but it is completely out of the scope of what Bill C-60 is doing.
I might add that when I talk about low-risk missions, I'm talking about, for example, a joint force mission in Tampa, Florida. We're not talking about high-risk missions such as Afghanistan, etc.
I believe DND has answered the questions put to them. I see very clearly what the responses were. I see very clearly what the questions were. To now change the question and ask for more time, frankly, appears to be a delaying tactic. I would suggest Mr. Brison go to the National Defence committee to seek out further information about how DND evaluates their missions.
Thank you. I'm prepared to vote on this.
