What I would like to know is what do we have a Minister of National Defence for? These are the forces who have had no decent support from the politicians and the bureaucrats behind them. They do not have the equipment. The Liberals want to sent them over there to take their lumps. I would suggest that some hon. members opposite, if they are so bloody brave, should pick up their Armalites and head for Bosnia.
In the House of Commons on December 4th, 1995. See this statement in context.
