Mr. Speaker, our troops have delivered in spite of what the government has done, not because of it.
Yesterday it was revealed that the minister is planning large scale cuts to the Canadian Forces. The report suggests a yard sale of Canada's destroyers, tanks and supply ships. This is a foolish plan which would deal a fatal blow to Canada's naval task force and army brigade capabilities.
Why is the Minister of National Defence engaging in the secretive plan to break the backs of the Canadian armed forces?
