Mr. Speaker, only a short while ago the Minister of National Defence was deriding additional defence spending as buying “toys for the boys”, but this past weekend he seems to have had a Damascus road experience of sorts and says that he will call for additional funding now for the Canadian Forces.
I realize that Hallowe'en is in the air but this sudden morphing of the minister is nothing short of spooktacular.
Would the real minister please stand up and just simply admit that his government has been just plain wrong in its decisions?
