I understand the operational perspective. However, General Vance said that civilians could also be treated at the hospital. At the moment, civilians are dying, body bags are being closed while the people in them are still alive, and no civilians are being treated in the hospital.
Given the money that the hospital has cost Canada, could it be made available to Iraqi civilians? That was the thrust of my question.
Let's go back to the supplementary estimates (B).
The government has said that $450 million will be set aside for UN missions in Africa. Canadian troops will be going to Mali.
Which part of the amount goes to the Canadian Forces? In the supplementary estimates (B) ending March 31, 2017, which part of that amount will be invested in training for the troops who will be going to that country?
