Mr. Speaker, our Coast Guard is in a shambles. Our military is severely underfunded. Our customs officers do not have the tools to do their job. The defence minister and the foreign affairs minister signed, without parliamentary consent or without parliamentary due, a $35 million two year deal with the Americans on further integration which we fear is going to be the slippery slope to the loss of our sovereignty.
In fact the defence minister said yesterday that we control that slope.
I would like to ask the defence minister, prior to the further integration with the U.S. on the security deal, will he please bring those people before Parliament--
