Mr. Speaker, yesterday the finance minister in his budget announced $300 million more in capital funds. We are modernizing the Canadian forces. Just about every major piece of equipment is either being replaced, or being refurbished or upgraded so that our men and women, who do dedicated duty for this country, can have the kind of equipment they need.
With the money that was provided yesterday, over the next five year period we will have some $5.1 billion going into the defence department budget.
