Mr. Chairman, I could tell the minister that $100 million is not a molehill to Canadians. It is a mountain. I want the minister to understand that we do not accept his Enron accounting explanations.
The truth is that there are lot of good things that could be funded with a $100 million. I could tell the minister about the South Alberta Light Horse in my riding. I have talked to members who were about to get on buses and go for training but they had their training cancelled at the last moment because funds were not available. That is one concrete example but there are many more.
The minister says that the issue of camouflage uniforms is not that big of a deal. He himself says on the one hand that the uniforms they have now are adequate but on the other hand he says that they will apparently now be spending money to buy desert camouflage. Either the uniforms are adequate or they are not. Could the minister explain that?
