Mr. Speaker, the Canadian military performs well in spite of the government, not because of it.
This week, officials from the foreign affairs and defence departments are heading to Washington to discuss missile defence. The foreign affairs minister is opposed to missile defence but the defence minister says that the government has yet to determine what role, if any, it wants to play in defending Canadians from missile attacks. This is just another foreign affairs issue on which the government is confused.
Which Canadian position, if any, will the government be taking to Washington?
