Mr. Speaker, what we are talking about here is the safety of our troops in Afghanistan today. We know that we cannot change the past but we must do everything we can to prevent future tragedies. I am sure the government agrees with that. We must not wait for the results of the inquiry to do what we can to improve the safety of our soldiers.
The Americans in fact are using this equipment in some cases. It is clear that the equipment exists and that it is already being used by some of our allies.
Again, will the minister purchase this equipment or similar equipment which will improve the safety of our soldiers in Afghanistan?
