Mr. Speaker, the Jeffries report identified critical leadership shortfalls in the Canadian forces. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the report's lament that soldiers are constantly asked to "do more, with less for less".
General Jeffries has been honest and courageous in saying what the minister seems ready to ignore: that he and his officials demand more but give less.
Will the minister acknowledge that it is the responsibility of good leadership, including himself, to allocate priorities and commitments according to resources, and that this responsibility has been neglected?
