Mr. Speaker, the government has clearly failed to maintain the original principles of the Afghan mission. Personnel have been secretly shifted away from development and reconstruction. Progress on these fronts has all but disappeared in the Kandahar region.
Parliament and Canadians have not been kept informed. The required rotational support, except for two or three NATO countries, has not been forthcoming.
The President of Pakistan trivializes the loss of Canadian lives and the government remains silent.
When will we get a concrete remedial plan to get this mission back on track?
