Mr. Chairman, it is really disappointing that the government is laughing at these questions. People's lives are hanging in the balance not knowing whether their jobs will be cut.
The 1994 white paper committed Canada to deploying a full brigade overseas within 90 days. General Jeffery told the House of Commons defence committee that the 90 days has now been taken to mean the time it would take to simply get the brigade ready for deployment rather than actually deploying it. Is that accurate?
