Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of National Defence.
According to information obtained today from the Auditor General's report, the Department of National Defence has sustained a total of $80 million in equipment losses in the various peacekeeping missions in which Canada has played a support role.
How can the Minister of National Defence explain that his department has written off its equipment losses at $80 million, when it has been unable to provide the auditor general with the supporting documents to explain those losses?
