Mr. Speaker, I am not a Liberal, but a British defence study on operations in Iraq states that the low level of U.K. casualties is a reflection of the outstanding protection afforded by its Challenger tanks.
In June 2003 the chief of the Australian army stated, “The risk of casualties...would be unacceptable” without tanks”.
A French army spokesperson said that the invasion of Iraq “confirmed the absolutely key role played by a land army with heavy armour...in winning a war.”
Why is Canada going in the opposite direction of our allies?
