Mr. Chairman, the minister knows very well that right now Canadian troops do not have adequate ammunition for live fire practice but we are spending $100 million on Challenger jets. He knows we have a $1.3 billion annual deficit in the forces' operations budget but somehow we had $100 million left over at the end of the year. That is simply not believable.
How does the minister square this contradiction? He said that we had $100 million extra but that we have a $1.3 billion deficit in our operations budget. How does he square that?
