Mr. Speaker, terrible is the correct response for sure.
I remind the parliamentary secretary that external inquiries are not the question. It is the question of the internal inquiries where cover-ups, corruption and mismanagement are the daily practice at DND.
The Prime Minister knows the Canadian Armed Forces has served the country with honour. He knows that his minister has lost the respect of Canadians and has entirely lost control of his department.
Why does the Prime Minister refuse to demand the resignation of the Minister of National Defence who consistently demonstrates poor judgment and flees not only from his responsibilities but from questions in the House.
