Mr. Speaker, Canadians know it is this Liberal government that has destroyed the morale of the Canadian Armed Forces. It is this lame duck minister and this government that are playing politics at the expense of armed forces personnel.
Despite what the Liberals think, most military personnel who served in Somalia served with distinction and should be recognized for their often stellar performance.
The Prime Minister and the defence minister continue to support General Boyle but refuse to support the rank and file in the Canadian Armed Forces.
Will the defence minister move his support from General Boyle to our Somalia veterans and strike and issue a Somalia medal?
