Mr. Chair, on a point of order, I'd just like to remind the committee again that we don't expect officials from the department or from the Canadian Armed Forces to comment on policy issues that might jeopardize their relationship with the minister. I believe if you look at page 1068 in chapter 20 of O'Brien and Bosc that is clearly laid out, and I suggest that you provide that type of direction to our witnesses.
I can't control what Ms. Murray wants to ask, but maybe she'd want to talk about why they went into a decade of darkness under the Liberals and saw GDP spending fall well under 1% and how they completely rusted out our entire navy, never mind the rest of the Canadian Armed Forces.
