Mr. Speaker, the hon. member continues to speak nonsense. This is not my plan for the army, I am accelerating the plan. It is the army's plan. As General Hillier also said yesterday, the best tanks in the world, sitting in Edmonton and Val Cartier, are useless to our soldiers in Kabul.
The army itself told me it did not want tanks in Afghanistan. The army itself said that it would be fantastic if it could have the Stryker. It is clear from the army that we are definitely on the right track.
