Mr. Fonberg, everybody in Canada wants to make sure that our troops get safe and valuable equipment, and our military today has told us that they've done quite well with off-the-shelf items, rather than Canadianized items. So constituents are saying, “Well, if you don't need them in the theatre of war, why are we spending so much money for Canadianized equipment at home?”
