Mr. Speaker, the hon. member says that the navy is tired. It is true that since September 11, 2001 the navy has been on a surge. The navy has been on a marathon with virtually every sailor and every ship on duty, on a marathon. They have completed that marathon successfully.
When someone completes a marathon, only a churlish member of the Canadian Alliance would say, “You are tired”. The rest of us would say “Congratulations navy, on a job well done. We are proud of you”.
