Mr. Speaker, the government's lack of priorities is putting Canada's security at risk.
The Coast Guard is parking ships because it cannot afford the fuel. Naval patrols have been grounded, leaving our borders exposed. The Liberal government is quite content to have the United States look after us. The minister said yesterday:
There is a lot of water around our country. It is always a challenge for both Canada and the United States to defend it. We will be working more closely together in the future to do that.
Especially at this time of year when we honour our military, why is the government abandoning the military and turning our security over to others?
