Mr. Speaker, again I remind the House that the hon. member's party has called for a 25 per cent reduction in defence spending. This would have severe ramifications on operations.
As we know, the defence committee just issued a report. It is being studied by the government and a white paper will be issued shortly.
If the hon. member has details of how we could save money I would love to receive them. He could table them in the House or send them to me directly. However I doubt very much whether he would have enough projected savings to account for a 25 per cent reduction in expenditures of the armed forces. If we do that, it would certainly have a great effect, especially in his own province as in all other provinces.
