Mr. Speaker, it sounds to me as if the hon. member is reflecting upon the position taken by his defence critic in response to the committee's report and that is that the Bloc Quebecois advocates defence spending be reduced in Canada and Quebec of course as part of Canada by 25 per cent.
I do not think that is widely known. It was said in the election and it has been reiterated. That is very interesting.
With respect to the report of the hon. members, I have read it with interest. I have read the report of the defence committee. All the members of the House and Senate who took part should be congratulated.
The government will certainly consider its recommendations in the development of the new defence policy.
