Mr. Speaker, we all want to salute our forces but we cannot salute the government.
Our military personnel are being put in harm's way by their own government according to the cold, hard facts of the auditor general's report: borrowed batteries; duct tape; the Aurora fleet not ready 58% of the time; Sea Kings not ready 70% of the time; training problems; no spare parts; lack of specialists; tour fatigue; scheduled maintenance cut in half.
What does the government intend to do to correct this injustice to our Canadian forces?
