Mr. Speaker, a combat capable military is something the government is doing. Anytime we send our troops, and we have sent our troops in higher numbers than many other countries in the world in the campaign against terrorism, we make sure they have the resources they need to do the job.
The resources that the finance minister provided yesterday are a welcome addition to our budget. The Minister of Finance has done a masterful job in being able to balance a number of needs and give additional money to the defence department.
