Madam Chair, with all due respect, I have not been there.
I understand what the member is saying. I come from somewhat of a similar background to the military people. Sometimes when people ask them if they are happy with what they have, they have a certain reluctance to tell outside people what they are short of. This is the case with police officers and it is the case with the military.
I am not satisfied that our people are properly equipped with the tools they need to do the job. I am satisfied that we can provide those tools. We should have been providing the equipment to our troops in the last several years, not just trying to get it done in the next several weeks.
