Mr. Speaker, I will address an issue that has not been addressed in the House of Commons and in the budget. Enough money has not been given to our military in the budget.
The hon. member is talking about what happened on September 11. Following that we sent our men and women over to Afghanistan. We are talking about sending more, but we do not have the tools or resources for those men and women.
I do not know if the hon. member is aware that the filtration system on the supply vessel, the frigate that went over there with our men and women, broke down. They did not have any water to drink. They could not wash their hands. They could not take a shower. That was for over a week.
This was to be a military and security budget. The military got $300 million, for heaven's sake, to buy the equipment that it needs. That is nothing. Could the hon. member tell us when the government will put some money into the budget for boots, for equipment, for uniforms and for tools so the military can do its job? It did not put it in this budget.
