Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has already answered that question very clearly.
In terms of my answering of questions, I will acknowledge I am somewhat more reluctant to answer questions from Alliance members regarding ships and exchange soldiers. First of all, because they agree with us on these matters and then they go accusing us of not caring about our soldiers, which is ridiculous. When that fails, they resort to name calling.
That explains my reluctance to address their questions with the same seriousness that I apply to the Bloc and the NDP.
