Mr. Speaker, I am honoured to present a petition on behalf of many residents of Ontario in which they note that morale in the Canadian forces is in decline. They note the disbanding of the Canadian Airborne Regiment and other negative factors having bearing.
Therefore, they request that Parliament at the earliest time initiate a wide-ranging public inquiry, replacing many that are being convened piecemeal, into the Canadian Armed Forces, which would investigate, report, and make recommendations on all matters affecting its operations: tasking, resources, effectiveness, morale, and welfare.
