I think there should be some selective outrage here over the fact that we are one of the most bureaucratic nations in the world, and we put a label on everything. We do. We have a process. We sell those processes internationally. They're a big deal.
The fact that the Government of Canada has yet to put a label on its missions to accurately define them for Canadians is a big issue, and the fact that you want to help is really inspiring for me. I really enjoy speaking to members of Parliament. You are helpful, but we're up against the Department of National Defence. Somebody has to go into the Department of National Defence and tell them how things are going to go. Typically, that takes a lot of work from Parliament. That takes bills and laws and so forth.
I'd be happy to share with you a very simple mission classification system, which would help you, as politicians, understand what we're asking Canadian soldiers to do. I'll just ask some very quick questions of the floor.
The people who are in Latvia right now, serving the Canadian government, when they get attacked by Russians with an onslaught of missiles and rockets and bombs, will they be at war? Are they going to be under wartime service? I bet you that it's going to feel like it really quick. There is no process to fix this. The process is fixing the executive level of the Department of National Defence and what I refer to as “toxic white male behaviour”, where they basically subjugate everything.
