Madam Speaker, I listened very carefully and with great interest to the remarks of the hon. member for Charlesbourg.
I think I heard correctly but I ask for confirmation that he was speaking about overcommitment in the armed forces and about bureaucracy. I wanted to ask him if in the bureaucracy he was speaking of he included the head man in the shop, the minister.
Does the member for Charlesbourg see the minister being responsible for some of the bureaucracy and some of the problems that are created for the armed forces? In other words, does the overcommitment result from decisions taken from the top?
