Mr. Speaker, the troops are always ready and willing to go. That is the way they are.
The government has been caught flatfooted. It is totally unprepared for this. Since it has been in power, it has allowed the military to become a shadow of its once proud self. It will take a real commitment to our military to get it back on track. Our men and women serving in the forces deserve better than what this government has given to them.
When will the Prime Minister begin the process to develop a new white paper so that our troops will get better?
