Mr. Speaker, the detainee debacle has exposed the government's broader mismanagement of the Afghanistan mission.
On the ground, insurgents are crossing freely from the border with Pakistan. We have no strategy on the poppy trade. We have no diplomatic strategy and no development strategy. Here in Ottawa, departments are feuding with each other, we have evasions in the House and the Minister of National Defence cannot even get up on his feet and defend the policy.
Will the Prime Minister do his job, give our soldiers the civilian leadership they deserve and fire that Minister of National Defence?
