Mr. Speaker, the government and the Minister of National Defence have shown remarkable success in achieving greater funding for the Department of National Defence. The member knows very well that in the last budget the Minister of Finance allocated $800 million of new money for the Department of National Defence.
The member talked about the problem of spare parts. One of the main expenditures was $221 million that the defence department was allocating to restock spare parts.
We are very committed to a strong and stable Department of National Defence.
