Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Germany is considering invoking NATO's article 5. You won't have our submarines operational for another 13 years if all goes well.
In five years, our Conservative government bought five C-17 Globemasters; 17 C-130J Hercules; 15 Chinook helicopters, which had been cancelled by the Liberals previously and ended up costing many lives on the ground in Afghanistan; 100 Leopard tanks; modernized drones; modernized Auroras; and frigates. We don't have 13 years; we're on, potentially, the brink of war.
What can you do to speed up the process now so that we can get the equipment in our military's hands, equipment they need right now on the front lines?
