The hon. member for Red Deer in his question to the Prime Minister in the context of another country used the term "meanest junk yard dogs" in reference to members of the Canadian forces.
My concern is not just that he used that term; but in reference to the tenor of the questions from the third party that morale in the Canadian forces was so bad that perhaps we may not want to send the troops, this was totally out of context. In that context I ask the member to withdraw that statement.
