Madam Speaker, it is always interesting to hear the Liberal viewpoint on the military and to see how quickly they point the finger elsewhere, blaming others for the problems they have created.
From the very beginning the Liberals have hated the military, all the way back to the Trudeau era, and have cut it apart. Under Hellyer, Trudeau wanted to unify the military, which was the most destructive force that ever could have happened to destroy the military. It was done under Trudeau and it continues to this day. They then turn around and say they are going to fix the problems.
The member talks a lot about morale. The morale problem is the result of Liberal action and inaction. Morale is a major issue. It is equated to pay, to equipment, to purpose and to honour and courage in their leadership. That is what morale deals with. I would like the member to talk about honour and courage in the leadership and in the ministry of defence.
