Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
Both the Canadian people and our armed forces deserve better than the culture of cover-up which has taken hold of the Department of National Defence. It seems that every day we discover new evidence of deception within the DND hierarchy. Access to information documents are forged. Police investigations are obstructed. Evidence is destroyed.
We have warned the Minister of National Defence repeatedly, yet he has adopted a hear no evil, see no evil attitude and continually expresses confidence in his senior officials. Canadians have lost confidence.
When will the Prime Minister recognize the chronic systematic failure of the leadership in the Department of National Defence?
