I heard that comment, too. That is highly inappropriate when we are trying to have a constructive debate. That is the ultimate in lip service to a Liberal apologist.
The member made reference to the defence committee addressing some of the problems in the military. That points out a fundamental flaw in the way this administration operates. Those problems did not originate this year. Those problems have been brewing and the lid is just bubbling. We have people who have to moonlight. We have members of the military going to food banks and collecting welfare supplements because of structural problems in the military. This has been front page news in Esquimalt, Victoria, Edmonton and other locations. We do not need a defence committee to tell us how to address these problems. The government has known full well about these problems for a long time and has chosen to ignore them because it places the interests of the military at the bottom of the totem pole and not where they rightfully belong.
