Mr. Speaker, when it comes to the recommendations, it has taken this minister a long time to get down to the basics.
The minister knows full well there is a culture of cover-up in that department that still exists and he still has not dealt with that. The new chief of defence staff stated that he wants more openness and he immediately put the boot to the military top ranks. Now it is time to purge the bureaucrats from the ranks. Why will the minister not turf the senior bureaucrats who are responsible for trying to hide the truth before another bad report comes in?
