Mr. Chair, perhaps only Peter Braid from Waterloo read the Waterloo region Record op-ed piece that I wrote on Canada First, in which I raised significant questions, first about the strategic environment that was being described there and also about why the military is being called on to carry out a number of roles, in other words about mission creep. We're clearly advancing the ability of the civil power as opposed to how providing aid to the civil power would do that.
Also, I did raise the question of having military power as the leading foot in the international expression of a country's best foot forward, and I have a question about that.
