Mr. Speaker, I wonder if the Minister of National Defence realizes the impact this Somalia issue is having on the military. Why does he think the people in Edmonton are ashamed to wear their hats to work when they are driving because they do not want to be perceived to be in uniform? Does he not understand that all the military feels tarnished by what has happened and they are concerned by their perception that the leadership is not being held accountable for what happened?
Will the minister accept that this whole episode is troubling the people in the military forces?
