Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister of National Defence.
Criticism is coming in from all directions. We see soldiers, officers and even retired generals publicly criticizing, from within
and from without, the chief of staff of the Canadian armed forces. The critics are unanimous. General Boyle is no longer trusted by anyone, and we do not have to wait for the report to know that.
How can the minister justify his stubborn insistence on keeping a chief of staff whom no one trusts? What is behind all this?
