Mr. Speaker, the hon. member seems to be advocating even greater cuts in the budget of the Department of National Defence.
I would like to point out that while the members for the official opposition advocated in the last election a 25 per cent cut in federal expenditures in defence, when we have cut not nearly by that amount but by a significant amount over the last couple of years, the first to object to the application of those cuts are the hon. members for the Bloc Quebecois.
